Praxis Fernandez
Praxis Fernandez is a Writer / Filmmaker from the Dominican Republic by way of New York, or Dominican York, for short. Her first storytelling lessons came from the elderly merchants, hustlers, and day laborers who'd weave fantastical tall tales and bicker about politics at her grandmother's weekly salons. She then complemented that education with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Film and Video (Writing & Directing) from SVA and a Master's in Visual Effects Compositing from NYU.
Praxis started in the trenches of the filmmaking industry as a Wardrobe P.A., eventually transitioning to post-production, where she's spent the last decade as an Editor and GFX-VFX Artist across pharmaceutical and beauty ads, reality, children's TV, fiction, and documentaries, all while developing her own writing and directing projects. She's also every bit the stereotype of the "dog mom."
