About

I’m Alexander Newman, an Emmy-nominated documentary director and producer who loves building stories from the first interview through the final cut. Over the past 8+ years, I’ve led research, developed narrative structures, and guided editors with paper edits and story notes—so the final film feels as true and compelling as the people at its center.

I direct and produce across documentary, brand films, and campaigns, with a track record that includes a 30-minute Emmy-nominated documentary on Delaware desegregation and multiple creator-style brand projects built from real interviews and cinematic craft. I also bring a practical post-production mindset, including streamlined workflows for transcript-driven story extraction and fast, responsive content delivery when the moment matters.
