Director Biography - Alex L. Newman

Alex was impressed (that’s a nautical joke) by Danielle’s script immediately and knew this was the next project to tie his buoy to…he had no choice. Ashore for too long, he grabbed the helm and brought in some ideas of combining live-action and animation, something he’s longed to do again for some time. He has been directing and editing short films and theater productions recently, including shorts for ReelHorror. He particularly enjoys to watch a director’s entire filmography and will often tell you a different favorite film on any given day.
