Alexanders Career Goals
“My passion is for both performance and creation, and my career choice has always tried to encompass the two.
My official “Vision” is “Through the creation of visually and psychologically engaging media, or through the embodiment of a character, I seek to explore our place in society by navigating the realities, frailties, and ironies of the human condition”
Truthfully, my goal is to perform in and create as many provoking, truthful, and compelling pieces of film and media that deal with the nature of our humanity.
Right from when I was young, I understood the power and influence of film & performance, and I’ve made it my goal to be part of that!”
His vision for Waking World Productions
“My goal for Waking World Productions is to create feature films and television content with influences from a variety of different cultures, styles, ideologies, and even spiritualities – preferably with a healthy dose of humour!
The bulk of the projects I’ve worked on have been freelance content – only just recently have I begun the transition into more self-produced content, including my first short film entitled “Jack”, set to release publicly this month.
I currently have a comedic web series, “How to Be Human” and a genre-bending feature film “(i)F” in development”
What ignited your passion for this industry?
“I remember watching movies as a kid and being so changed by them. I knew it was something I was meant to do.
As far back as I can remember, I wanted to act. I was even The Littlest Elf in daycare! But by the time I was in high school, I discovered a new passion for writing and directing as well.
I eventually attended school for theatre and transitioned into screen-acting post-graduation.”
Were you always a creative person, or is that something that you have developed with experience?
“I’ve been told I was – The sort of kid that could find a way to have fun with a rock haha. But I definitely remember making a voice-over comic with my best friend using PowerPoint when I was in grade school. It was terrible, but it happened.
I always had a passion for photography, and after University I worked with a friend hosting concerts & music festivals where I could really explore the creative freedoms of producing video content.
I’ve always enjoyed writing and sometimes I can be pretty okay at it. Don’t ask me to draw though…”
What advice do you have for those who have dreams like you but are afraid to take the first step?
Just do it. I mean, what is there to lose? Maybe you’re back where you started, maybe it’s the best decision you ever made?
