About

Alec Amsellem is a left-handed artist working across film, writing, and multimedia art. Raised in Maryland, of Moroccan and Egyptian descent, and now based in New York City, his work spirals around dream, symbol, and novelty.

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 an independent study rooted in his lineage.

Alec has also gained hands-on set 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 body of work.
