Alexandra Warrick is a filmmaker from New York City and a proud member of The Lambs since November 2020.
At Columbia University, Warrick closely studied “anti-comedy”, a style of humor that intentionally corrupts genre expectations to shocking effect. “The Dada of Haha”, her thesis on avant-garde programming block Adult Swim, merited her the prestigious Andrew Sarris Award for Film Criticism and designated her the first anti-comedy academic on record.
After graduating, Warrick’s debut, the surreal comedic short film Questions (Or: Peanut Butter), achieved notoriety after its two-day streak on the front page of Reddit’s “r/Videos” subforum; NoBudge’s Kentucker Audley praised Warrick’s portrait of a peanut butter fetishist as “sharp-witted”, while New York Magazine’s Luke Kelly-Clyne claimed it “boast[ed] the best comedic crescendo [he] had the pleasure of covering [in 2019].”
After wrapping a prizewinning festival run of her most recent short-form outing, the experimental horror short Y.M.G., Warrick looks forward to enlisting her fellow Lambs in her upcoming underground farce KICK ME.
