Alexi Pappas:
Alexi Pappas is an Olympic athlete, author, filmmaker, and actress. Alexi's memoir-in-essays, "Bravey," with a foreword by Maya Rudolph, was published in 2021 and became the number 1 new release in both the sports and film categories. Alexi will be releasing a young reader’s version of “Bravey,” coming out on August 22, with a foreword by Maya Hawke. A Greek-American, Alexi is the Greek national record-holder in the 10,000 meters and achieved a personal best at the Rio Olympics. Alexi graduated magna cum laude from Dartmouth College and also ran for the University of Oregon, leading the team to two NCAA victories.
Alexi most recently directed, co-wrote, and starred in the feature film NOT AN ARTIST alongside RZA, Ciara Bravo, Paul Lieberstein, Matt Walsh, and Haley Joel Osment (currently in post production). Alexi previously co-created and starred in the feature film OLYMPIC DREAMS alongside Nick Kroll, premiering at SXSW 2019. In 2016 Alexi co-wrote, co-directed, and starred in the feature film TRACKTOWN with a cast including Rachel Dratch ("Saturday Night Live") and Andy Buckley ("The Office"). I got so much out of this conversation with Alexi, and I know that you will too. Alexi is curious, courageous and candid, and is making the most of this game called life.
