After graduating from The Northern Film with a First Class Honours in 2020, Alex returned to Guernsey and began directing short films. The first was Occupied, which explores the 1940 air raid on Guernsey and its aftermath. The film saw local and international success, including a sold out premiere at Beau Sejour, 36 screenings at The Mallard Cinema and film festival screenings in the UK and France.
His latest short film is the post-apocalyptic Sands of Purgatory. This was a very ambitious piece with a team of over 80 talented creatives, including a group of seamstresses who made all of the costumes by hand. Scenes featuring meticulous combat choreography were filmed in iconic locations around the island. So far, the film has premiered in Guernsey and has been selected for festivals such as: Harrogate Film Festival, FilmPride, Glowflare Short Film Festival, 13th Parish Festival and more.
His aim is to continue creating ambitious films that show off the incredible talent of Guernsey's filmmaking community and to connect Guernsey with the international film industry.
