Alexandra Chadwick

Alexandra (Alex) Chadwick is a Los Angeles-based screenwriter with a passion for telling dramatic coming-of-age stories told from the perspectives of quiet but strong-willed protagonists. Alex grew up in the suburbs of Matthews, North Carolina, where she discovered her love for storytelling at a young age. Alexandra is currently pursuing her MFA in Screenwriting at the prestigious American Film Institute Conservatory.

 

Alexandra's Black List Recommended screenplay DUCK SKIN was awarded the 2026 recipient of The Black List x Writers Guild Initiative Collyer Fellowship, and recently became a quarter-finalist in the Outstanding Screenplays Feature Competition. Her directing work has been recognized with awards such as the BEA Award of Excellence and a semifinalist position at the New York International Film Awards. 

 

Alex has a deep appreciation for bold, evocative storytelling, inspired by filmmakers like Andrea Arnold, and Kelly Reichardt, and Lynne Ramsay.

​

When she is not writing, Alexandra can be found at most cozy LA diners with a book (usually a memoir), a latte (usually with almond milk), and a playlist on repeat (usually with at least one song from LCD Soundsystem).
