- ABOUT
- BIO
Inspired by true events, THE YEAR BETWEEN is the story of Clemence Miller, a college sophomore who is forced to move back home after having a mental breakdown. Faced with a surprising diagnosis of bipolar disorder and a jarring return to the Illinois suburbs, Clemence has to learn how to live with her well-meaning but frustrated family and find balance in a world that seems hellbent on thwarting her.
Alex’s upcoming work includes her first feature film, "The Year Between," a comedy about bipolar disorder, produced by Level Forward. The film stars J Smith Cameron, Steve Buscemi, Wyatt Oleff and Emily Robinson, and is premiering in the US Narrative Competition at the 2022 Tribeca Film Festival. Her awkward, comedic short films that celebrate/damn coming of age include Grizzlies, 24 and Pregnant, Never the Bride, Dose, and Forever House. Alex is a 2020 Sundance Institute Feature Film Program Fellow. In 2018, she was named by Vulture as one of their "Rising Filmmakers Every Cinephile Should Have on Their Radar." Alex creates mental illness memes for thousands of freaky folks on Instagram. Alex graduated from Northwestern University in 2015. She lived in Illinois for 27 years.
