Director. Editor.

Hi, my name is Alec, and I’m a collaborative filmmaker who is passionate about emotional storytelling; namely exploring the confines of narrative and where realism begins and ends. After graduating from the University of Wisconsin- Madison, I relocated to San Francisco where I work as a commercial video Director/Editor.

With a passion to tell stories, I also write and direct short narrative films; where I enjoy working with local independent crews to produce such content. My narrative shorts have screened at the Beverly Hills Film Festival, San Francisco Shorts Film Festival, and the Wisconsin Film Festival. I’m currently in post production on my newest short, John and Linda.
