About

Alec Amsellem is a left-handed artist working across film, writing, and multimedia art, aiming to reintroduce the novelty of ordinary life. Raised in Maryland, of Moroccan and Egyptian descent, and now based in New York, his work spirals around dream, symbol, and the surreality of the everyday.

He studied Digital Media at Tulane University, with an independent focus on psychoanalysis, and later attended FAMU in Prague, where courses such as Filming the Unfilmable shaped his approach to vision and grounded experiment. Alec now works with international scholars in religious mysticism, pursuing a personal study of his great-great-grandfather’s alchemical work.

In addition, Alec has gained hands-on experience — contributing to productions for Saturday Night Live, My Next Guest Needs No Introduction with David Letterman, Annie Leibovitz Studio, Ralph Lauren, Warby Parker, Valentino, Vogue, + more. His practice bridges the imaginary and the practical, moving between studio sets, academic discussion, and his own evolving work.
