Aleksandra is a BAFTA-winning screenwriter working across fiction, animation and games.
Aleksandra was born and raised in Warsaw and is currently based in London. Her writing occupies the space between tragedy and comedy – always touching on real, tangible feelings, but often through obscure, slightly ironic scenarios. She’s particularly drawn to outsider stories, queer stories and characters questioning the reality that surrounds them.
Aleksandra is a graduate of The National Film and Television School, where she wrote numerous short films, many of which screened at festivals around the world. Her animated short Crab Day received a BAFTA for Best British Short Animation in 2024. A fiction short she co-wrote, Tree of Many Faces, was shortlisted for The Yugo BAFTA Student Awards, and a demo for a 2D game she co-wrote, Vox Vs. The Void, was showcased at EGX London.
Aleksandra is currently developing both live action and animated projects for TV and film. Her most recent commissions include an adaptation of the novel The Storm is Coming by Julia Kahrs for Pulse Films, an original feature film, Untitled Porno Project with a Scottish company, Barry Crerar and two projects with an independent production company, Dolphin Love – an original feature film, Pretty Boy UK and a comedy series, The Warehouse.
Aleksandra is also the author of a graphic crime novel, El Diablo, funded by the Polish National Cultural Centre, and the director of a short documentary, In A Knot, produced in Wajda School, about her grandparents’ turbulent marriage, which premiered at an Oscar-qualifying Kraków Film Festival.
