NB Film Co-op writer/director/actor/producer LexGigeroff passed away suddenly at Christmas at home in Fredericton. He was 49. Lex was a well-known creative person in the Canadian film world and internationally. Lex is best known as co-creator of the very popular science fiction series Lexx. He also acted in the comedy series Liocracy and the short film Treevenge as well as multiple other projects over the years. Most recently, he had acted in numerous films at the NB Film Co-op. Lex will be remembered by many members of the Film Co-op as well as so many others who loved him dearly across Canada and beyond. He was only a member for a few years at the NBFC but he left an indelible mark that will never be forgotten here.
