About Alex

I have over 25 years experience with independent filmmaking/videography. My brother and I started up our own company, Dead Shark Productions, and we do anything from music videos to weddings. Besides the more commercial work (have to pay those bills), our passion lies in creating our own independent films.

Since we are such a small operation, we share a lot of the behind the scenes duties, as well as acting. My primary focus is Cinematography, so I handle most of that. We then share Directing, Editing, and Writing. I do enjoy acting, and typically have a role in our projects, but being the main camera operator kind of prevents me from having a large part onscreen.

Movies are basically my life. I love watching them as much as I do making them. I enjoy almost every aspect that goes into it.
