The Careist
Location: Southern Illinois
Role: Producer
Between the Ohio and Mississippi riverbanks sit the United States' 15th International Wetland of Importance. Yet, the wetlands today are mere remnants of their original borders. Max Hutchison is a naturalist, ecologist, zoologist, and lifelong voice for preserving the wetlands he also calls home. The Careist is an ode to Max, a way of life, and a natural area long overlooked and daring to disappear forever.

Our Terrain
Location: Missouri
Role: Producer, Cam Op
Missouri isn’t a place most people think of when they think of ultra running. But it’s here on the rolling hills and chunky karst terrain where race director Shalini Bhajjan has built Terrain Trail Runners, a community of long distance ultra trail runners. On April 15th, 2023, three members of this community set out to complete Shalini’s toughest race and run 100 miles through the Ozark Foothills in Wildwood, MO. What started out as a beautiful day quickly turned into a weather nightmare when a tornado touched down 10 minutes from where the race was being hosted. Tough calls were made and limits were tested, ending in a finish that no one saw coming.

Working across both independent and commercial production, Alex is driven by the simple act of listening. He operates with a service mindset. A focus on personal stories shapes how he shows up, from supporting crew all the way to building relationships with those on camera. His practice moves between stills and motion, with a visual style shaped by outdoor culture, clean editorial framing, and the subtle choreography of bodies in motion.
Previous roles include agency-side work developing campaign and content strategy for global brands, and time as a commercial studio manager at a production company handling global production logistics. Together, these experiences give him both curatorial and production insight to guide how audience and image meet. They also shape how he organizes shoots, leads teams, plans gear, and cares for every detail on set.
