This film contains strong language.
Synopsis: Alexa Zminkowski, in her debut short film, asks: “What am I?” Not “Who am I?” Enter Exa Zim, who, in rejecting conventional ideas about sexual identity, offers insight into a very atypical
existential crisis.
Having kept a video diary since the age of nine, Alexa / Exa uses more than a decade of short films, skits, and video diary entries to give form to a thoroughly abstract endeavor: knowing yourself.
At times both darkly funny and emotionally charged, Alexa To Exa exists as a complex and moving portrait of what personal revelation actually looks like, while also revealing much about the nature of change itself.
