From Actor to Director: A Conversation with Queer Creator Alexa Rose Vitale


Listen Later

On this week’s episode, we had the most inspiring conversation with Alexa Rose Vitale. Alexa is a queer actor/director/total boss. She started her career as a model and actor in Punjabi music videos. Soon she was writing and directing her own work, including a queer TV pilot about two girls navigating their sexuality in Vancouver.


Alexa tells us about the complex and frustrating process of shopping a pilot about queer characters—as a queer, feminine creator in a cis-male dominated industry. She navigated through so much pushback, ultimately reclaiming control of her work and standing up for her creative vision.


We're SO grateful to Alexa for this eye-opening conversation. Keep up with Alexa HERE and check out her not-for-profit clothing line Rosebud Apparel. With a firm belief in equitable access to the arts, Rosebud's mission is to provide funds for youth in the arts across Canada.
