Alexanna Rose Brier (born August 4, 1997) is an American actress, producer, and director. Her filmography includes portraying The Intern in High Maintenance.[1] and her role as Effy in the upcoming short film, Sour Honey.

Early Life

Brier began her acting career at age 9 working in a variety of performance outlets. This started with commercial work for brands including Chuck E. Cheese, Dixie Plates, and Acuvue Contact Lenses [2] . She moved into theater work with principal and ensemble roles such as Jemima Potts in the US Tour of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang [3] (2008) and on Broadway playing Debbie in Billy Elliot the Musical [4] (2011).

When not on the main stage, Brier performed back home on Long Island. Screen-wise, she appeared in multiple shorts including Sane Jules Blaine. Directed by Andrew Simkiss, it earned the 2009 Warner Brothers Film Award [5] and King Award from New York University’s First Run Film Festival [6].

She completed her secondary education at The Wheatley School [7], acting in local productions and served as Vice President of their theatre company. Delving into work behind the camera, she produced, directed, wrote, and edited the short film A Helping Hand [8]. It awarded her as the winner of the Creative Empowerment Arts College Scholarship [9] and recipient of the 2014 Long Island Arts Alliance Scholar-Artist.

After graduating from Wheatley in 2015 Brier attended the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City. In 2020, she earned a Bachelors of Science in Film and Media with a minor in French [10].

Transitioning to a full-time actress, her appearances were primarily cameos on television shows and mini-series which included High Maintenance and Message Not Received. Alongside those, her focus has been creating and starring in short films. Work included Bandito Melancholia [11], Tape [12], and Small Time [13].

The latter was released in 2020, playing the role of Shelley [14]. It received praise domestically and internationally. That year, it earned Best Feature at the Centre Film Festival [15] and EDA Award for Best Female Directed Feature at the 2020 Whistler Film Festival [16] followed up by the Spirit of Freedom Award [17] at The Bahamas International Film Festival [18] in 2021.

Her latest short, Sour Honey [19], which is dedicated to sex workers everywhere, is set to release Summer 2024.
