Alexander Griffin is an award-winning filmmaker on the Autism Spectrum (PDDNOS). Griffin achieved his filmmaking start in 2019 at the State University of New York (SUNY) at Oswego's Cinema and Screen Studies program, studying under experienced professionals, some with major film credits. Since childhood, Griffin was inspired by the technical beauty of video as well as the theatrical magic of cinema. In January of 2020, Griffin had launched his own personal multimedia production company, Dream Corridor Productions, under which he filmed and published a collection of short films from documentaries to space fantasies, as well as filmmaking videos for newcomers to the craft of cinema production.
I find it interesting how the change in technology can both enhance the production and consumption of modern media such as music. In some cases, however, this shift in technology can also work against us. MUSICAL MAYHEM explores this concept in a whimsical and hilarious fashion!
