ALEX - Festival Attaché
Alexandra Chando is an actress, producer, and director. With over 14 years of experience acting on network television and film, she is no stranger to the production process. Though acting is her first love, Chando became interested in directing while filming Freeform’s “The Lying Game” where she played two roles. The long days on set gave her the opportunity to become well acquainted with the technical aspects of directing. From there, Chando began shadowing directors on network television series (Mistresses, Scorpion, Switched at Birth) which eventually led to her creating and directing her own female driven unscripted pilot which is currently being pitched, as well as her first short film “LPM, Likes Per Minute”. She continues to act but is excited to expand into other realms of the industry and join the Mammoth Film Festival team.
