Kwame Alexander is a up-and-coming filmmaker and content creator with a passion of acting as well. Since childhood, he lives with his family in South Jamaica, Queens, New York, where he gained the passion of working in Film and TV from growing up watching Children's TV shows on Nickelodeon, Cartoon Network, and PBS Kids. He is a fanatic of the Marvel and DC Universes, and his favorite genres are Comedy, Action, and Fantasy. His education in Film and TV started when he attended Thomas A. Edison Career and Technical Education High School in New York City from 2010 to 2014.
Years later, Kwame graduated from CUNY LaGuardia Community College with an AA Degree in 2021, during that same year, his application into the BFA Film & Video program at the City College of New York was not accepted, so he would then applied for Brooklyn College and from there spent two years within its Film Program before graduating in 2023 with a BA Degree in Film Production. Although he is now an alumni of both LaGuardia and Brooklyn, Kwame still has memberships with the LaGuardia Community College Film Club and the Brooklyn College Film Society. Since graduating from college, Kwame has worked on many different film sets as a Key Grip, Script Supervisor, Production Assistant, Assistant Director, and as an Extra, all to further improve his experience in film production.
As a content creator, Kwame started using the "KlicKNet" name in 2015 as the title of a blog devoted to posting current news events, major announcements, and original stories. In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, Kwame would use all the time at-home as an opportunity to launched a YouTube channel, which later rebranded into KlicKNet in the Summer of 2022. The channel features FakeTV Box – a scripted topical show with comedic commentary, reviews and reactions, Wkly Hit List – a livestream that discuss real-time news every week, and FTB 60 – a daily short series on YouTube Shorts (all of which inspired by "The Daily Show" on Comedy Central). Since 2022, the "KlickNet" brand has expanded on social media, with its own accounts separate from Kwame's personal sites on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and Threads. In 2024, "KlicKNet" would expand into the world of TikTok.
As a filmmaker, Kwame's first major project, outside of social media, was the teen comedy short film "NickCam," based on a fictional sitcom he wrote back in 2012. The project served as Kwame's college thesis in which he was Director, Writer, Producer, Editor, and Casting Director. The film received official selections from three major events including: the 2023 Brooklyn College Undergraduate Film Festival, the 2024 Flight Deck Film Festival, and the 2024 New York Lift-Off Film Festival. It is also the first to be produced under "KlicKNet Productions" – officially founded by Kwame in 2023 as an independent production banner – which hopes to create more stories and media-based content of its own and collaborate with other creatives on their stories and projects in the future.
