INTERESTS
Alex Francis Films – Currently developing own business as a freelance cameraman,
expanding on a growing a client base from producing promotional
video content for local businesses to use online.
Drawing – Sketching fictional characters in my spare time from a young age,
to storyboarding characters that I can bring to life through film,
drawing has always been a part of me.
Music – One of the main sources for my creative inspiration, while listening I
visually create a story in my head which changes and flows to each
part of the melody. This presents a potential film narrative to
become a reality.

for new ideas to constantly flow.
Extreme sports – Mountain boarding for the first time when I was fifteen years old
and picked it up really quick, ever since then, the adventurous,
thrill-seeking side of me has found a great interest surfing,
mountain biking and skiing, each sport presenting me with new
challenges and skills to learn from, constantly pushing myself
mentally and physically.
