about
Alex Cooper. Like Ryan Reynolds but without the jawline.
After his career at the wax factory came to a premature end, Alex has become one of today’s go-to bi-lingual commercial comedy directors, working between London, Mexico City and LA.
His experience as script-writer, actor and circuit comedian means he has a unique directing style – combining an impeccable eye for comedy with a strongly cinematic visual aesthetic.
Outside of directing, Alex is a screenwriter, actor and a shamanic healer… as you do. He also runs an Improv Comedy class ‘The No Talent Show’ in Mexico City.
