Lexi Alexander is a German filmmaker and Martial artist. She was born in Mannheim, Germany.

In her childhood, she began kickboxing and karate. At the age of 19, she became world champion in both. Represented by Endeavor Agency and Gotham Group in Los Angeles, California.

After this, she went to Hollywood and started directing short films. Because her brother took her to football matches in which the SV Waldhof team participated, she learned a lot about the football fan scene. Her brother was a violent fan of this team, and was also in a group of hooligans, a so-called “firm” of Waldhof. Inspired by these experiences, she co-wrote and directed a film about the firm of West Ham United, called Green Street Hooligans. In order to have enough material for her film, she worked with former-hooligan-turned-writer Dougie Brimson, who helped her develop the story and co-wrote the original screenplay.

She has also made a new film called Labor Day, which will be released in 2007. The film is about a state attorney who sends the boss of a crime gang to prison. When his wife is kidnapped, the attorney asks a law-breaking former boyfriend of his wife to help him.

Lexi is currently editing Punisher: War Zone starring Ray Stevenson as Frank Castle/The Punisher. The movie is set for release in December 2008.
