About Alexander Zahn
The entirety of my working and creative life has involved media in a truly integral way. While attending Cornell University, I started the school\'s first completely digital radio, television, and music blog forum (The Slope Media Group). SMG was featured in BusinessWeek, it covered the front page of the Cornell.edu website, and the organization grew from a start-up into the largest & most successful philanthropic student organization at Cornell. Since then, I have worked in traditional entertainment for the past 15 years on everything from studio blockbusters to independent films featured in Sundance, Cannes, TIFF, SXSW, Venice, and many other festivals. I\'ve worked on television shows, commercials, shorts, music videos, & extensively in digital and streaming media.I am involved in a wide variety of content and genres across the board and focus on diverse stories not often told in the standard media space.I have annually served as a panelist at the Sundance Creative Producers Lab, as a board member / speaker/moderator/member of the host committee at NALIP (National Association of Latino Independent Producers), and was featured on The Hollywood Reporter Next Gen 35 Under 35 List for 2017, as well as the Variety Inclusion Impact report in 2019.I am also a board member of the Delta Airlines Aeromexico LatinX Leadership Advisory Board.I annually attend; Sundance, Cannes, TIFF, SXSW, & several other film festivals & industry events.
