Lexia Snowe is a screenwriter and director-in-progress. Her mission: to make smart, durable entertainment characterized by an inventive and passionately crafted script.
Benthic Pictures is the independent filmmaking outfit of Lexia Snowe.
Lex is a 35-year-old screenwriter, and filmmaker-in-progress. When she is not writing scripts, she is watching films, reading scripts, dismantling cameras and talking about "soundscapes" with bearded hipsters.
Through Benthic Pictures, Lex will deliver on her five-year plan to grow from a low-budget independent filmmaker (< $500k) to a not-so-low-budget filmmaker (< $25m), specializing in smart, durable entertainment in the thriller and action genres. Every Benthic Pictures film will build on this foundation: an inventive and passionate script.
In 2015 and 2016, Lex will direct a number of self-penned short films, in approach to her feature debut as writer-director in 2017.
Benthic Pictures is owned and operated by Lexia Snowe Arts Ltd , the international writing and digital arts company through which Lex supplies her creative services.
