Five roads.
One crossroads.
I made films, wrote the books, built the platforms and went looking for the answers. Turns out it was all the same road.
CHOOSE YOUR ROAD
- Thirty years behind the camera. I’ve got the scars and the receipts. See the filmmaker page
- Two books, no sugarcoating. Getting burned in Hollyweird, then not getting burned twice. Meet the books
- Everything I know about the dream, the hustle and the ego, minus the lecture. See me on stage
- Skeptical by nature. Curious anyway. This is where the real questions live. Start with Next Level Soul
- I got tired of waiting for permission, so I built the platforms myself. See what I’m building

THE SHORT VERSION
I set out to make movies.
The road had other plans.
I set out to make movies and got an education instead. Hollywood burned me, my ego didn’t help, and the failures turned out to be the best teachers I ever had. So I wrote the books, started the podcast and built the platforms. Different roads, same lesson: chase the dream, keep your ego out of the driver’s seat, and trust that the universe is testing you but always has your back.

Thirty years behind the camera.
I started at the bottom, got burned in Hollywood and kept shooting anyway. Thirty years of sets, scars and lessons I wouldn’t trade.

THE BOOK
Shooting for
the Mob
A bipolar gangster, a naive, young film director, and Batman. What could go wrong?
From the backwater towns of Louisiana to the Hollywood Hills, Alex is taken on a crazy misadventure through the world of the mafia and Hollywood. Did we mention it’s based on true events? No, seriously, it is.

Lessons worth passing on.
From film sets to spiritual stages, my talks follow one road: the dream, the ego and what failure teaches you. Filmmakers get the war stories. Seekers get the why.
The questions that matter most.
I started Next Level Soul because I had questions and nobody was answering them straight. You’ll find grounded teachers, real conversations, and a community of seekers. Come as skeptical as you are.
