Levi Alexander

Levi Alexander is a screenwriter, story consultant, and educator with over ten years of experience helping writers develop stronger stories through structure, rewrites, and script development. He has worked with both emerging writers and established professionals. His work has included ghostwriting, rewriting, and helping to shape projects that have gone on to be produced as major feature films.

He earned his BFA in Screenwriting from Champlain College in Vermont before going on to receive his MFA in Production from the USC School of Cinematic Arts, where he focused heavily on screenwriting and took every writing class that was available to him (including one he took twice).

His feature script MIRIAM was selected for the Sundance/WIF Creative Producer Lab, and the proof-of-concept short adaptation went on to have a strong festival run, screening at the Emerging Filmmaker Showcase at Cannes and winning awards at several other notable festivals.

As both a teacher and a writer, Levi is passionate about understanding not just how stories work, but why they work. He believes story, character, and plot are inseparable - that they are load-bearing pillars of every screenplay. If even one isn’t working, the entire structure starts to collapse.

Levi watches around 500 movies a year, studying them both academically and emotionally - analyzing structure, character, and theme while never losing sight of the magic of being transported by a great story. His teaching focuses on helping writers find that same balance: strong craft paired with authentic emotional truth.
