Alexander Perri, a Toronto native, developed a passion for visual storytelling early in life, often experimenting with his father's SLR cameras. His interest in photography and imagery naturally evolved into a fascination with filmmaking, spending countless hours studying behind-the-scenes featurettes of classic films like the "Indiana Jones" and original "Star Wars" trilogies. Perri pursued formal studies in Image Arts - Photography at Toronto Metropolitan University (formerly Ryerson University) and later earned a Diploma of Photography from the Photography Institute in Vancouver.

In 2019, Alex made his directorial debut with the short film Glitter Girl. Working with a modest $1000 budget, a small crew of four, and a three-day filming schedule, he took on multiple roles as director, cinematographer, and editor, completing post-production within a month. Glitter Girl went on to win the People's Choice Award at the Crystalline Film Festival in 2021.

Following this success, Alex directed Beyond the Ranch, a sci-fi short filmed over two days with the support of his wife, Kristen, and a similarly limited budget. The film screened at the Durham Region International Film Festival, where it was nominated for Best Regional Film.

In addition to his work in short films, Alex has collaborated with artist Francesca Panetta on six music videos, including Bad Idea (July 2021), When The Sunshine Rains (August 2021), Hazel Eyes (September 2021), FUML (June 2023), September Weather (July 2023), and September Weather (Live In Studio) (October 2024).

With several promising projects in development, Alex continues to push creative boundaries in both directing and cinematography, driven by his commitment to storytelling and cinematic artistry.
