Alicia's Paradox is a short film that is focused on Alicia, a graduate student in the humanities, who is currently having an ambiguous affair with her thesis advisor. Her advisor also happens to be a long time friend of her father's. The film studies the idea of her entrapment. The majority of the film takes place as one long conversation with her advisor and blends to a series of vignettes; we see recent flashbacks of her with her father, and sessions with her therapist. These three older men in her life are similar in personality and they blur together in her mind creating one persona.

She is studying Lewis Carroll (Charles Dodgson) and his complex relationship to Alice Liddell, which she realizes could be a parallel to the life she is living. It delves into the idea of not knowing how to love or be loved, when desire of a loved object goes awry, and what it is to be confined, with no healthy way out.

Alicia's Paradox is an MFA thesis film for the Department of Media Study at SUNY Buffalo.

Corrina Waxman is currently the media production coordinator for the University of Richmond where she is a liaison for the fine arts faculty. She holds a BFA in film from Purchase College and before attending Buffalo she worked in film in the New York metro area. While at Buffalo she taught Documentary Production, Immigration and Film, and worked as a technical support assistant for DMS.

She now resides in Richmond, Virginia, where she works in higher education and runs an arts collective which is focused on storytelling through different artistic mediums. The work explores the idea of travel for the sake of art and the stories of people and place.
