My Story
Alex is originally from the tiny island of Bermuda and has called Vancouver his home since late 2016. Alex grew up watching a broad range of kids television shows and feature films and playing video games (Nintendo and PlayStation). He enjoyed seeing how characters in these different mediums developed from the ground up and how the characters’ journeys spoke to the viewer's beliefs through creative storytelling. Alex’s love for travel and video games (especially action-adventure and role-playing games), has inspired him to pull from a catalog of settings and content to create new worlds and characters for stories.
​​
During high school, Alex wrote various poems to help him process life until this took form into storytelling. Outside of IT and Business, his favorite subject was English and writing short stories from his imagination. His fondest memory was hearing that one of his poems was added to the following year’s school yearbook and hearing from his brother that his school’s headmaster quoted his poem in a school assembly meeting.
​​
When Alex was preparing to leave Bermuda, he wrote a short story / spoken word piece called ‘Redirection’ to process the loss of two key figures in his life and empower him to leave the island and move to a new country in faith without knowing how things would turn out.
​
After receiving positive feedback on the Redirection story, he had the idea to adapt the story into an animated series. It was then when his brainchild, 'The Kazi', was born.
​
"The Kazi" is currently in-development and Alex is working with a local animation studio on short movies within the Kazi universe.
