Most recently they co-edited HUNKY JESUS (2026), a feature documentary about the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, a group of drag nuns, and their campy Easter celebration.

Farther back they collaborated on a variety of documentary projects including the 10-part Netflix crime series MAKING A MURDERER: Season 1 (2015), Academy Award Winner, RESTREPO (2010), Emmy-nominated & Seattle International Film Festival Audience Award winner, Q BALL (2019), and the Oscar shortlisted and Emmy-Winning Netflix film FIRE IN PARADISE (2019).
On the shorter side of things, Alex has significant experience with branded content, client profile pieces, promotional videos, event highlight reels, and music videos. Some of their clients have included Facebook/Meta, AAA, Heinz, Benjamin Moore, Habitat for Humanity, and SF AIDS Foundation.
They are an alumni of Sarah Lawrence College, where in 2008 they received their BA in Liberal Arts with an area of focus in film production. They have lived all over - Chicago, Brooklyn, Sydney, San Francisco - currently they live in Philadelphia with their partner and rescue pup. Ask them to tell you the story of how this pup wandered into their lives. It's quite the tail, I mean tale.
