About Alex

I've been making movies since high school. When my friends and I took over the morning announcements, we saw an opportunity to make short films for a captive audience...and by that, I mean an audience that literally HAD to watch; the entire school was held hostage by our silliness. Out of necessity, I learned the basics of filmmaking: performing, writing, directing, editing, visual effects, scoring...you name it; I was the Robert Rodriguez of morning announcements.

All of these skills came in handy during my varied and wild, young career: acting in a Mentos commercial, being a backup dancer for one show with "Weird Al" or during my time at the University of Miami's film school. After making the leap to Los Angeles, I've continued to hone my craft by working in the editing room for studio films like "Hot Tub Time Machine" and "The Muppets", on the sets of films like "The Hangover Part III" and as a Producer for ESPN. All the while, I continue to write, direct and edit my own films.

My latest short film, the horror-comedy "OverKill", has been thrilling audiences at film festivals worldwide (including wins at Shriekfest, Screamfest New Orleans and playing at the Academy Award-qualifying Nashville Film Festival). And recently, I was included in a database of Latin directors that consists of up-and-comers like myself alongside more established Latin directors like Fede Alvarez ("Don't Breathe").
