About

Alex is an English-American filmmaker and creative producer based in Los Angeles. A Film Studies graduate from Wesleyan University with experience across studio marketing and independent production, he specializes in bold, visually driven work that merges classical filmmaking with innovative approaches to media and storytelling.

Alex has directed and produced the award-winning shorts Code Rouge (2025) and Hot Springs (2024), and produced Death and Ramen (2023), which reached 1M views in its first month online. In branded work, he’s directed Atum Works’ launch video — used to raise an 8 figure round — and cut Bryce Anderson‘s creator campaign for NOVA.

Alex spent three years at IMAX across Post-Production and Marketing departments, supporting global campaigns for studio blockbusters including Avatar 2, Oppenheimer and Dune 2. He has also worked across production with Psycho Films in Los Angeles, Studio UNI in China, The Ink Factory in the UK, and served as Associate Programmer at the Sun Valley Film Festival.

Currently, as Creative Director at Eyes and Ears, Alex leads projects across branded storytelling, short-form narrative, and early-stage startup launches.
