Alexander
Alexson Penn
Screenwriter
Who am I?
An award-winning screenwriter from London. Hobbies include sarcasm, cigarettes and existential crises.
A life-long film fan, I write feature and short scripts inspired by my heroes: Tarantino, Lynch, Fellini, Woody Allen and The Coen Brothers, to name a few.
My stuff is inspired, but not regurgitated. I blend my influences with a unique Jewish wit, whip-smart dialogue, surreal dark comedy and unexpected pathos.
Making people laugh at terrible things since 1991
What do I write?
Dark comedy. Surreal comedy. Everything comedy.
MY IDEAL / Short
A lost writer goes to a dating agency to find purpose and inspiration.
BLACK / Feature
A brilliantly flawed LA professor struggles with marriage, dating and coming to terms with his mediocre life.
CLOUD NINE / Short
On a date from hell, a neurotic writer is haunted by a mysterious girl in red.
