Alexandra Bruce

I graduated from Brown University with a BA in Semiotics, additional studies of cultural criticism, film theory and production at l'Université de la Sorbonne in Paris and NYU Film School.

When I was youngster, I had my own production company and I produced/directed/edited over 40 music videos for the major music conglomerates during the heyday of the video music era, including Sony, Universal, Polygram, Def Jam, Profile Records, Jive Records, Island Records, MCA, etc. (The ownerships of these companies switch hands so often, it was and is a real-time blur).

I've been in the trenches for the past two decades, in film/television/catalog/book production, DVD publishing and marketing, cable TV advertising sales, and the promotion of my six published books on television, radio and the Internet.

I am Brazilian-American. I have a huge dynamic family. I have one full-, one half- and five step-brothers and sisters. I have 15 nieces and nephews and so many cousins and second-cousins, whose children who I consider to be my own nieces and nephews, as well as lifelong family friends who *are* family, including their kids...

My family lives on three or four continents (when last I checked). It's gotten to the point, where I just see everyone as family...
