Alexis Fish began her career after moving to New York in the late 90’s. At 23, her first industry job was on a Todd Solondz indie produced by Christine Vachon (Killer Films) and Ted Hope (Good Machine) as product placement supervisor. Having grown up in LA being exposed to Hollywood as well as documentary and independent cinema, she was deeply influenced by the LGBTQ work that helped her have a better understanding of the community she was becoming a part of. It was then she decided to focus on working as much as possible on projects with a focus in the GLBT (as it was called then) space. Her next job was as an outreach coordinator on the PBS Documentary, Adoption about gay couples adopting children and she never looked back.
 

Most recently, Ms. Fish launched the new Condé Nast GLBTQ+ video driven community site, 'them' as Senior Producer building the video team while directing and producing the first 7 tentpole videos garnering over 5 million combined views.  Prior to her work with Condé Nast, Ms. Fish was working closely with various clients developing branded content.  She developed a series about the STREET foods of Vietnam for celebrity chef Susan Feniger. The creative collaboration and relationship forged with Susan Feniger led to the creation of SF STREET Media where Alexis acts as Director of Business Development for Chef Feniger’s brand.  Harnessing her extensive business experience having worked in the film and cable television world, Alexis was responsible for strategically crafting Feniger’s brand creating business partnerships with fortune 500 companies for sponsorship and licensing opportunities.  She led multiple teams in the creation of various avenues, including a TV show she created for PBS titled STREET EATS, taking Chef Susan Feniger around the world to the streets of the countries she loves, a retail line of gourmet foods and products, a large scale ad revenue based website, producing food related web video content as well as securing domestic and international partnerships in marketing and advertising for the 2012 release of Feniger’s STREET food book publication by Random House.

Her producing credits range from John Cameron Mitchell’s critically acclaimed success Shortbus, to the HBO documentary on burlesque, Pretty Things and the Sundance award winning feature, Streets of Legend.  Her most recent feature Mississippi Damned premiered at Slamdance and was released theatrically as well acquired by the premium cable network Showtime.

As a development producer, she has been involved in dozens of projects from narrative fiction features, documentaries, web series and commercials.  Most recently she has worked with Heather Rae (Frozen River) on the feature film Unicorns and Church a finalist in the Netflix/FIND competition written by Cami Delavigne (Blue Valentine).
 

In 2007, Ms. Fish joined SAGIndie (the independent arm of the Screen Actors Guild,) as Manager of Development. Having premiered her own films at the world’s top festivals, it was a natural extension for Ms. Fish to continue cultivating relationships with actors, producers, writers, and directors working with SAGIndie. Holding panels and events at festivals and conferences around the worlds, Ms. Fish has informed filmmakers and spoken extensively about producing independent features and the SAG contracts.
 

Prior to her work with SAGIndie, Ms. Fish was VP of Q Television Network (QTN.)

Prior to joining QTN, Ms. Fish was in New York City working on the third season of the hit reality television program, The Apprentice learning the workings of reality television out in the field.

When not employed on larger scale projects, Ms. Fish’s company School of Fish looks for projects that inspire and educate.  School of Fish has produced mid-budget documentaries, commercials, videos, and web content as well as advising on larger scale feature films.
