FULL BIO

Lexi Hiland is an Emmy award-winning film editor & artist based in Los Angeles, CA. She works both in commercial & narrative filmmaking for a wide range of national and international clients.

Born in Colombia and later adopted to the United States, her life's beginning aids to an interesting perspective of culture, vision and tone that is laced into her work.

In 2012 she kickstarted her career interning under Associate Producer Steve Boyd for the London 2012 Olympic Opening & Closing ceremonies, helping with mass human choreography under director Danny Boyle.

Soon after she delivered a TEDx talk about her independent documentary of her short film, Para Mi Mamá: A Letter To My Birthmother delivering a message on creating original work. This won her 2nd place at AT&T’s inaugural film competition at the Developer Summit in Las Vegas in 2017.

Her experience combines a background in music composition as well as studies in creative writing that give her work a specific rhythm and design. Her hope is to continue to push for the social equality of women in the workplace, and in film.

Beyond her craft, she enjoys visiting her alma mater Purdue University, traveling the globe and discussing differences & patterns in society, and lastly… a new love of space and quantum physics.

​"Faith does not operate in the realm of the possible. There is no glory for God in that which is humanly possible. Faith begins where man's power ends."
