About Alex

I'm Alex. I've been writing screenplays for more than ten years, just as a hobby. I spent several years working part-time, which afforded me the time needed to focus on developing my skills. I lean towards Fantasy, Comedy, and Science-fiction, but all of my scripts contain elements of other genres. I also really dig the Horror aesthetic.

I focus on building deep, cohesive worlds to play around in with my characters. Everything connects to everything else in some way, every character has a counter-character, and every decision has reason behind it. I often write backwards, starting at the end and retroactively filling in the story.

My stories often involve a journey to some far-away magical realm, or alien planet. My current project is a science-fiction series with the working title 'Zodiak'. The series is comprised of 12 interconnected short stories that tell a larger story when watched together - constructed in such a way that you can watch them in any order and still understand the story!

Unique traits: Good with character voice, dialogue, narrative structure, continuity, and intelligent comedy.
