Alexander has directed, shot, produced, and edited a wide variety of film projects ranging from commercial, music, and art videos that have reached millions online, to documentaries that have been featured in film festivals internationally and broadcast nationally. He has shot commercials for major brands such as Google, USAA, Jagermeister, and Georgia Power. He has also shot projects for HBO, CNN, VH1, Discovery, Fusion, NYtimes.com, Great Big Story, and CNBC, as well as created a number of fundraising videos that have raised tens of thousands of dollars for New Orleans youth programs. While it is rare to claim propensity in both the director and DP roles, having directed (and edited) two award-winning, feature-length films, Alex has become fluent in every phase of production, developed a strong understanding of perspective, story structure and emotional rhythm, as well as learned how to effectively delegate and lead a team. But the merging of his background in visual art with an infatuation with cinematography has him most often finding himself on set as the director of photography. While having a love for directing, he feels most at home with a camera in his hands, composing frames, painting with light and color, and crafting a visual language to serve a story and a directors’ vision.

My 25-year career as a professional writer spans long-form, investigative journalism to UX microcopy for websites. An award-winning journalist for 16 years, I changed gears in 2015, moving on to marketing as a digital copywriter and copy manager. My specialties include crafting consistent messaging across channels, creating clear CTAs that lead to conversion, content strategy, collaborating with cross-functional partners, and coaching and mentoring writers. Crafting emails, social media, mobile app and website copy and SEO-rich long-form articles are all part of my skill set, and I have experience in writing retail, fashion, beauty, home, automotive and higher education content in fast-paced, high-volume environments. I'm an expert at distilling complex subjects into compelling, easy-to-understand copy and creating on-brand, engaging content. A true people person, I thrive when working with designers and other creatives to bring concepts to life, and learning from cross-functional partners through the course of a project.

Raised partly in Charleston and Columbia, SC, I graduated high school in May, 2005 and joined the U.S. Navy seven months later. After serving five years as a Mass Communication Specialist (I spent most of my time as a Photojournalist), I was honorably discharged and moved to Charlotte, N.C. to attend the Art Institute of Charlotte. Here is where I realized a real passion for Cinematography and graduated in 2014 with a Bachelors of Arts in Digital Filmmaking and Video Production. Since then, I’ve been living in the jungle as a Freelancer and loving it. I love the challenge of creating a visual aesthetic that accentuates a narrative and have shot an array of projects including commercials, music videos, documentaries, reality t.v. and short films. I love everything about film, I just happen to be at my best behind the camera.

I work as a freelance cinematographer and I’m usually up and down the east coast pointing my camera at people and places. I love the strategy and fine tuned detail of larger productions but the thrill of a single camera, “run and gun” shoot is sometimes unmatched. I pride myself on gorgeous and modern visuals and I just make things work. Contact me for anything, regardless of scale.

For over 30 years with Turner Broadcasting: from his early days as a Video Journalist for CNN to Director of Photography with Turner Studio’s elite Film and Video Unit, Mike was awarded the opportunity to travel the world creating stunning imagery. He was hired directly out of college and worked his way up and around the Turner organization, broadening his experience as he went, including: field sound recording, long format post-production editing, videography, and field producing. Eventually he found his comfort zone and his greatest challenges within the Turner Studio’s Film and Video Unit shooting high-end entertainment productions Michael brings the same intensity and passion to exotic locations and to the seemingly mundane. He’s shot “everyman”, businessmen, icons and news makers. He’s shot in war zones and end zones, from some of the highest peaks to stunning underwater depths.
