It was such a pleasure working with Alex - he is hard working, adaptable, organised, great with contributors and a skilled shooter.
He was thrown in the deep in end with us, joining a challenging, access-driven ob doc series part way through production, but he got his head around it all so quickly.
Many of the shoots he did with us were complex and ever-changing in nature, from working through the night over Christmas on a bridge demolition, to covering the biggest signalling works undertaken on the railway. Alex handled these brilliantly, getting to the heart of the stories, asking the right questions and handing over well-thought out notes for the edit. He is an asset to any production.

Alex has a great feel for film making, and always delivers. His work shows flair, creativity and real artistry. He gets good performances from high profile presenters, and knows how to put contributors at ease. And he can cope with pressure, handling long shoot days and fast turn around edits with aplomb. Apart from being a pleasure to work with he's an all round good bloke
I've known Alex for years and you won't find a harder working and more creative director. He's fairly new to the directing game, but this certainly doesn't show in the films he produces. He is always ambitious and looks to make films which not only tell strong stories, but have something extra; beautiful shots and clever artistic sequences. He's great with contributors and Presenters alike - a genuinely good guy he's an asset to any team. He's a fantastic self shooter and goes above and beyond to capture shots which will make a film sing. He's certainly someone I'd love to work with again!
I first worked with Alex in late 2012 on a new series, and found him to be such an asset to the team that I asked him back when the series was recommissioned in 2013. He gets on well with everyone: colleagues, contributors, presenters, and is a great team player; and he has also demonstrated the ability to take on a task and make it his own.
One of Alex's greatest strengths is organisation: his record-keeping, note-taking and communication is flawless; and he's a master at devising systems whereby everyone on the team knows precisely where to look for anything they might need. His grasp of complicated archive requirements is second to none and he can be relied upon to deliver on time and within budget. When it comes to negotiating with locations and contributors, Alex is always charm personified, which often results in reduced rates! Alex is always keen to contribute ideas and is often first out of the blocks at production meetings and brainstorms. I consider him to have been instrumental in the success of my series.
