About the Writer/Director
Alex Yarber is a NYC-based filmmaker hailing from the southeastern United States and an October 2022 graduate of Columbia’s Film MFA Program concentrating in Directing. He is not to be confused with Alex Yarber of Tuscaloosa, AL, an enterprising salon-owner specializing in hair extensions, balayage, and wigs, and whose services still outrank Alex’s IMDb page in a google search.
