Alexander Meillier

Alex Meillier is a Producer, Director and Director of Photography having worked in varied film and television fields since 1987 when at the age of 15 he began his career as a field producer, correspondent and part-time anchor for an NBC regional affiliate in Minneapolis, Minnesota producing stories for the program "For Kids Sake".

In addition to appearing in film festivals, Alex's work has appeared on National Geographic, CNN, MTV, VH1, E!, Comedy Central and numerous other cable channels around the world.

Alex's philosophy of filmmaking is akin to the words of the great Duke Ellington, who, once said of music: "If it sounds good, it's good."

"It's about making strong choices that fit the story and the characters," Alex says. "This is why in my work you will see that each piece has a unique 'look', one that is appropriate for the story."

"I take the same approach to format. As a curious photographer, and with a wide range of experience, I view any camera as a tool, and as such am never constrained or intimated by a box that rolls film or records pixels; the camera is a means to a creative end, whether it's super-8 or 35 anamorphic.The format fits the story first, and then if it looks good, it's good."
