Producer and director · Born June 30, 1980 (46) · Aurora, Colorado, USA

3 Primetime Emmys · BAFTA Award winner · 1 other major award body

Coming to LA with ambitions of making it in the movies, Alexis Martin Woodall did like many Hollywood dreamers and worked as a waitress - until she landed a job as a post-production assistant on Ryan Murphy's NIP/ TUCK. Since then, Woodall has risen through the ranks and now serves as executive producer on some of the most inspiring and creative shows in television history. In August 2019, Woodall was named President of Ryan Murphy Productions. In her new role as President, Woodall manages the company and continues to executive produce across all RMP projects. Fun fact: Woodall also owns restaurant Red Herring with her husband Dave, and lives for a little shoulder shimmy.

Reviewers score the atmosphere 65/100 and the pacing 37/100 in their films, across 6 reviewed titles. The element that speaks to their work as a director.

Percentiles are each film's standing among all films on MovieCove; the typical film is the median, so one outlier cannot drag it. Percentiles and reviewer scores count the films IMDb credits them on, for now; the Midcredits score bands, the shape of the crowd and the two cards count their MovieCove titles, shows included (a show ranked among shows), appearances as themselves left out. A descriptor is the shape of a title's IMDb rating distribution against the catalog; "most divisive" needs a spread wider than half of all titles, and a card names only a principal credit: a craft role, and on a show a crew role or a run of episodes, never a courtesy credit or a one-off guest spot.
