Explore Charade’s impact, Harold And Maude analysis, and Summerland’s influence on her personal growth and cinema’s transformative power. Kaia Alexander also discusses her book Stealth Pitch: The Hollywood Insider Strategy to Hook an Investor and Land a Meeting in 60 Seconds or Less.

• Charade – Kaia Alexander says Charade is her mother’s favourite film and that she was introduced to it via Sunday afternoon cinema on TV when she was a kid.
• Harold And Maude – Kaia Alexander says as a teenager she was introduced to Harold And Maude by her best friend Shannon and what she couldn’t know at the time was that she would pass away two years later in a freak accident. Understandably the experience of losing her friend changed how she saw the world and has made her cling to that movie. She thinks of Shannon being a Maude, in every way. Dazzling and full life.
• Summerland – Kaia Alexander says Summerland swept her away. It is in her opinion a perfect movie and as a queer woman you just don’t see movies like this ever. The way it threads together is breathtaking.
