In our interview, Lexi Cohen talked about discovering filmmaking later in high school and how everything shifted once she started looking at the world through a camera. She is a Long Island-based artist and a Division Three lacrosse recruit committed to Haverford College, already learning how to balance athletics with a growing creative identity. Her short film Pennies, made in just five days through a student program in Sag Harbor, has earned early praise and is now being submitted to festivals. Her journey is a reminder that your passion can find you when you least expect it.
