EP 105: Conflict, Legacy, and Art with Director/Writer/Producer Lexx Truss

Welcome to this week’s episode of Visual Intonation, where we sit down with a filmmaker who’s changing the landscape, one story at a time—Lexx Truss. Hailing from Greensboro, North Carolina, Lexx made his mark in the film world with his award-winning short 'Zarina', which won the Grand Prize at the 2019 Emerge! Filmmaking Lab. Since then, he’s crafted compelling narratives, exploring the psychological depths of characters in conflict with themselves, all while juggling multiple genres and formats. 

From his early days as a drumline musician and freelance videographer to his time producing 100+ videos for ATTN: and directing commercials for Triumph Motorcycles, Lexx’s career is anything but conventional. He’s been recognized across the board, with his films featured on Fox Soul and his scripts climbing the ranks of Coverfly’s Red List. More recently, Lexx directed and produced a music documentary for Peter $un, under Red Bull’s Filmmaker Launchpad program—a project that marks the latest chapter in his ever-growing body of work. 

In this episode, we’ll dive deep into Lexx’s journey from North Carolina to Los Angeles, discuss the passion that fuels his filmmaking, and unpack how he’s balancing personal legacy with industry ambition through his production company, Truss Films. Whether it’s through the lens of a camera or the heartbeat of a drumline, Lexx is always exploring what it means to evolve, to create, and to tell stories that reflect who we are and who we’re becoming. 

Tune in for an intimate conversation with a filmmaker whose artistry is as multifaceted as the characters he brings to life.
