68 - Alexandria Watts - Titanic Dreams & Finding the Vertical Spotlight...

️ Just before the New Year, I had the pleasure of sitting down
with Alexandria Watts to talk about her journey
as an actress, her work in Verticals, and her growing passion for
writing.





As a child, she was completely mesmerized by Titanic — so much so
that she even took classes about it! Her dream job back then?
Oceanographer . That dream lasted until her mother signed her up
for a theater class… and everything changed.





Despite insisting (and laughing about it!) that she absolutely
cannot sing — especially not in front of an audience — the very
first role she ever auditioned for was in musical theater. And to
everyone’s surprise (especially her own!) she booked it.





After spending several years in New York , she eventually made
the move to Los Angeles , where she immersed herself deeper and
deeper into the world of Verticals and micro-dramas.





Would she love to shoot in Europe or Asia? Absolutely. ️
 The only thing holding her back? Her fear of flying ️


That’s why conquering that fear is officially on her 2026 bucket
list — because she’s ready to explore the big, wide (Vertical)
world beyond the U.S.





Being quite tall, she also shares some funny on-set realities:
it’s not uncommon for her to be taller than her male co-leads —
especially in heels — which means the infamous Apple Box makes
its regular appearance.





Her creativity doesn’t stop at acting. She’s also stepped into
writing, creating her own Vertical that was eventually produced
with her in the lead role: Frozen Hearts and Fiery Love
(ShortMax). ️





Her biggest wish for the Vertical space? More rom-coms. More
comedy.
 “There’s enough drama in real life — it’s time for more fun
and entertainment.”


And trust me — you don’t want to miss what else the passionate
hobby baker and I talked about in this episode!





Tune in now!
