ABOUT ME

My name is Alex, I am a film editor and devoted storyteller. I have worked on documentary feature films, shorts, commercials and music videos. I was born and raised in London but am fluent in Spanish and Portuguese. Some of my recent work includes: a Spanish version of ‘Running for the Revolution’, a documentary feature film streaming on Apple TV, an episode of 'The Listening Post' for Al Jazeera, a campaign film for Mercedes AMG with Will.I.AM and a Crawlers music video for Universal Music. I am accustomed to working on big-budget productions as well as smaller independent projects. I understand the importance of grasping a vision, but that as an editor one is also responsible for filling in the gaps and significantly elevating any project. I am motivated by an innate drive to tell stories, reframe existing narratives, open dialogue and foster empathy for other lived experiences through layered characters.
​
I also have a background in filmmaking: I graduated with an MA in Directing Documentary from the Escuela Internacional de Cine y Televisión (EICTV). I have directed several short documentaries that explore pressing social and political issues through intimate stories. My films have won awards at film festivals such as LSFF, LA Film Fest and London Independent Film Festival. They have streamed on platforms such as Kanopy, Women's Voices Now and on television. I think my experience directing has greatly informed my practice as an editor. It has made me understand the vital importance of the relationship between director and editor; that the goal is to foster such synchronicity that, as an editor, you are already fixing a problem the director was about to verbalise.
