Alex is an intrepid, ukulele playing space-geek. She also makes beautifully compelling and thought-provoking films.

Born in Brighton, the artsy environment evidently had an effect upon the young Alex. Always a film buff, as a child she snuck down from her bedroom to the family VCR to watch all sorts of inappropriate fantasy and sci/fi films. At school she campaigned, successfully,  to get Photography on the A-level syllabus , and things ramped up at 18 when she was bought a state-of-the-art MiniDV camcorder and has never looked back.

Her first film project was a psychological thriller shot in ‘JVC night-vision’, ending with a grisly shovel-related decapitation and an A+ from her deeply traumatised teacher. Unfortunately for horror fans, Alex’s current work skews less splattery, with an aptitude for concision, human storytelling and a love of capturing movement, be it sports or dance choreography.

In her commercial career Alex has worked with brands such as John Lewis, Aviva, Sweaty Betty, Bombay Sapphire & Barclays but it’s also her self-motivated and award-winning personal projects that catch the eye, for example her recent passion project “Chrysalis”, not only an engaging and highly accomplished dance film, but an elegant piece of storytelling.

Alex’s ambitions include: to keep making extraordinary films, to swim more in very cold water and, obviously, to boldly go into space one day. Go Alex! To the stars…
