Alexander J. Farrell

Alexander fell in love with film as a child, his first work being published at the age of twelve where he won an international “young writers” competition. After being awarded a scholarship in NYC, Alexander gained his degree in film in 2013 and then moved to Los Angeles.

Alexander is currently directing a “blow the lid off” documentary in Los Angeles, which will expose the heavy injustices that medical insurance companies have been trying to keep a secret for over forty-five years. Set for a 2021 release. 

Alexander also directed Refugee, a ground-breaking feature length documentary, produced by the team behind Fahrenheit 9/11 and Bowling for Columbine. Refugee records the perilous journey travelled by Syrian refugees. Crossing over 2000 miles and ten countries the film follows the story of one family, desperate to be united after being separated by war. Alex was imprisoned and deported by the FYOM Military in Macedonia, and later kidnapped on the Serbian border.  Refugee was released in spring 2020 and is currently available to stream on Amazon Prime, iTunes and Vimeo.

Alexander has written and will be directing an elevated horror film titled “What Remains Of Us" this coming September in New Zealand, with Arclight films handling worldwide sales and UTA packaging.

Other key pieces include winning the David Attenborough Climate Change Award, shot in Naivasha and currently at the Guggenheim Museum; later going to the remote communities high up in the Peruvian Andes for Getty Images; and to then living on a Cod-trawler going across the Arctic Circle.

Alexander is represented by Ridley Scott's company RSA (commercially) United Talent Agency (theatrically) and United Agents in London (theatrically)

His debut scripted feature as writer and director What Remains of Us is in post-production. Alex co-wrote How to Date Billy Walsh which is in production with Amazon Studios.
