Filmmaker, Writer, Producer, Actor
Experience
My name is Alex Silva. Born in Seattle, Washington but based out of Toronto, Ontario, I have film experience both in front of and behind the camera. My passion for telling funny yet unusual stories has led me to create and produce multiple short films as well as stage plays. I have 6 years of film experience stretching from producing, to writing, to directing, to cinematography.

As an editor I am fluent in the Adobe suite as well as Davinci Resolve and Final Cut Pro X. My acting experience has taken place both in front of a camera as well as onstage in various shows for large theatres in Seattle. My dedication and drive for the work that I do makes me a valuable asset to any project or organization that I am a part of.
