We had the good fortune of connecting with Alix Oliver and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Alix, is there something that you feel is most responsible for your success?
The most important factors behind my success is the support from family, friends, and my colleagues from Midnight Coffee. When it comes to family, you do not have to be blood related for me to consider you family. I am always so grateful for the undeniable support I receive and without it, I wouldn’t be here.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I got to where I am today by taking multiple screenwriting classes at Kennesaw State University and attending the Georgia Film Academy. After graduating and completing an internship with the GA film academy I was referred to work on The Conjuring 3 based on my work ethic. After working on the Conjuring 3, I received more job opportunities and it was history from there.

It was not easy and I kept moving along with a healthy mindset and strong will. I received many “no’s” but didn’t let that discourage me and kept going until I received a “yes.”

I want the world to know that I’m hard on the outside, but deep down I am a loving person who’s just been through a lot.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
I would take them to breakfast first. Toast on Lennox is a phenomenal place! Depending on the weather, if sunny, we’ll go chill at Piedmont Park and if rainy, we’ll go to the movies. For dinner, we’ll go to Rock Steady, then Karoke.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I would like to shoutout and dedicate this to the members of Midnight Coffee for having my back and supporting me since day 1. The current members of Midnight Coffee Productions are Bernard Ansa, Will Frontera, Taniya “Tee” Bazille, Morgan-Tierra Ukaonu, Jarid Coronado, Crysilyn Childs, Landrie Benson, Katie McCloskey, and Julia Delaluz. The current members of Midnight Coffee Productions: West Coast is Tarun Karthikeyan and Carter Johnson. The current members of Midnight Coffee Records is Evan Bailey and Bryce Longmire. Yes, we are three branches and we are growing.

I want to also shoutout Justice “Troy” Cummings, Daniel “Doni” Perez, Josh and Ashley Chupp, Brent Jones, Chi’Ke “Kee” Sims, Will and Elyse Lindquist, Nick Foster, Kristen Persaud, Jonathan and Stacia Barringer, Chance and Maddie Hammond, David Laffon, Mackenzie Geistlinger, and anyone that has ever helped me with “Dead Serious.”
