BIO
ALEXANDER ALEXSON PENN
This witty award-winning screenwriter is the worst person I know in the best possible way.
At the age of 7, while his school mates were playing hide ’n’ seek, he was writing his first screenplay. Both angry and fascinated by life’s meaningless, he avoided Jewish school, enjoyed multiple panic attacks and spent time choosing the right Word doc font to shame and laugh at humanity.
Formerly a nationally-published journalist, he turned his back on that career to be a Mad-Men-style copywriter as he earns his stripes as a screenwriter.
His screenplays are hilarious, sarcastic and often violent — but they also have a romantic quality that point towards Penn’s marshmallow heart. He's a character and, contrary to what the The Wolf says in Pulp Fiction, that does mean his screenplays have character.
