Hi, I’m Alex. I’m a 21-year-old filmmaker and editor based in East Brisbane, with a Diploma in Film Production from SAE. I’ve built hands-on skills in editing (Premiere Pro, After Effects), camera work, lighting, and writing through three years of study and several freelance projects. I’m passionate about crafting engaging stories and collaborating with creative teams to bring ideas to life. I recently won the Audience Choice Award at the West End Film Festival Brisbane 2025, and I’ve done radio presenting at 2NVR for several years. In addition to film, I’ve spent 7-8 years in hospitality, which taught me to stay calm under pressure, communicate clearly, and work well in fast-paced teams. I’m excited to bring energy and creativity to a production team and continually grow as a filmmaker and storyteller.
