Thomas Denny
Stained Glass Artist
“I have worked with Alex on two projects, in each of which he explored the making, the meaning and the impact of my stained glass. Alex is an extraordinarily sensitive collaborator, a gentle enabler, in whose hands his subject can truthfully emerge. The films are beautiful and fascinating, a wholly convincing embodiment of my work. I feel very grateful to be able to share what I do with others through Alex’s vision.”

“My colleagues and I would have no hesitation in recommending Alex as a filmmaker, especially on projects focusing on historic buildings and/or craftsmanship. We look forward to working with him again...”
Thomas Greenaway
Pietra Dura Artist
"Alex is a rare find and a truly gifted artist. I instantly felt at ease working together and was particularly struck by the length of time he devoted to understanding the complex processes of my specialised craft, as well as getting to know my personality and perspective, which helped tell an honest story behind my work. I cannot highly recommend Alex enough for his professionalism and talent."
Leicester Cathedral
The Very Revd Dr David Monteith, Dean of Leicester
“Alex worked with us on our project to re-inter King Richard III and re-order Leicester Cathedral. He was a joy to have as part of the team and he worked with great care and sensitivity. Alex’s films have a real feeling for the community, the craftspeople and artists and the narrative which though complex and layered is told with great clarity and beautiful simplicity.”
Jenny Grevatte
Artist
“It doesn’t come naturally to most creative people to talk about what they do, let alone be filmed whilst doing it! Alex has a talent for understanding this inhibition and gently guiding the subject through the process, ensuring they are portrayed in an honest and relaxed way. It is almost as if the viewer has stumbled into their world and is allowed entry into their secret work spaces and to share their private creative zone. The power of a film on YouTube that goes viral is amazing. In my case it was during the Covid lockdown when the film we had made about an artist appreciating the small joys of nature and everyday life started to be shared by hundreds and then thousands of viewers all over the world. My work has reached an audience who now support me with their likes, comments and purchases, beyond anything the traditional publishing world could imagine. This is due entirely to Alex’s skill; the film arena is as competitive as any other creative field and his work simply outshines the competition.”
