ABOUT ME
Alexander Quinones
Born and raised in Pennsylvania, I’ve always found storytelling to be the most powerful way to explore what connects and divides us. Whether through cinema, still photography, visual art, or music, I’ve long studied how artists from all disciplines evoke emotion and meaning through form.
After graduating high school, I served five years in the United States Marine Corps. This transformative experience shaped my understanding of resilience, culture, and survival and deepened my desire to observe and communicate the complexities of human behavior across different walks of life.
In 2019, I picked up my first camera and never put it down. That moment ignited an ongoing journey to create narrative cinema that prioritizes emotional truth and visual immersion. I work within psychological genres—horror, drama, suspense—but I'm most drawn to stories where the absolute terror comes from within. My characters often face internal battles disguised as external obstacles, navigating fractured environments, buried memories, or societal collapse.
I focus on crafting tightly controlled, atmosphere-driven stories where sound, imagery, and performance work in harmony. I aim to build a cinematic experience that resonates deeply and leaves viewers changed, haunted, or inspired in some way.
Today, I continue to develop and direct genre-focused projects that merge emotional depth with visual intensity. My mission is to create stories that live beyond the screen. Stories that challenge, move, and connect people across perspectives.
Artist's Statement
I create films where survival, isolation, and transformation collide. Stories that explore what remains of us when the world takes everything else.
As a producer-director, I’m committed to shaping every layer of a project, from narrative tone and visual style to the energy on set. I aim to foster a collaborative environment that transcends surface-level storytelling and embraces bold, creative risks.
My goal is to create cinema that lingers. Stories that demand to be felt, not just watched.
