Alexander Hammer is the director, producer, and editor of the 2025 Tribeca Film Festival world premiere Room to Move, a deeply personal documentary about choreographer Jenn Freeman as she navigates a late autism diagnosis and channels that experience into the creation of a new evening-length solo performance.
Through an intimate observational lens, the film traces Freeman’s artistic process while gradually unfolding into a broader reflection on identity, perception, and the ways personal experience can reshape creative work.
Room to Move follows Freeman during a pivotal period in her life as she develops Is It Thursday Yet? in collaboration with Tony Award-winning choreographer Sonya Tayeh, while also confronting memories and patterns reframed through her diagnosis. Over the course of its production, the documentary blends movement, rehearsal, and lived experience into a portrait of an artist using dance as both expression and discovery, set within the contemporary New York performance world.
