Director Biography - Alex Schead

As a Brazilian filmmaker who grew up in Brazil and now resides in Canada, storytelling has always been my passion. This passion was ignited by comic books, video games, and naturally, movies, series, and anime. The characters' journeys of suffering, struggling, battling, and ultimately growing to triumph over their challenges have shaped who I am. These transformative narratives are what I cherish most about the art of storytelling.

Since I arrived in Canada, I have been working in post-production for VFX studios such as MPC Toronto (former Mr. X), Rocket Science VFX, and currently Herne Hill Media in the Editorial Department both as an Editor and as a Colorist.

In my spare time, I strive to be a better filmmaker every day by making short films and personal projects to build the skill set to be a Director.
