I could write a whole book about Alex, and not all of it bad
Kevin O’Connor
Writer
I am a filmmaker based in Manchester, UK.
As a cinematographer, I have had the privilege of shooting numerous short films, commercials, documentaries and feature films.
On the more adventurous, outdoor orientated projects where crew is often minimal by necessity, I can not only shoot but produce and direct too – always with the edit in mind and how to best tell the story.

Location & Travel
Whilst I am based in the Manchester area, I work all over the country including regularly in London and the Highlands and Islands of Scotland.
I have my own 4×4 and a valid passport. International travel is not limited to flying; I’ve driven across continents and sailed to remote islands as part of film projects.

Drone Pilot
I am a qualified and fully insured drone owner and operator with experience flying in a multitude of conditions including abroad, from boats, in sub-zero temperatures and at UNESCO world heritage sites.

Now that you’ve seen proof that I’m a bona fide professional, let’s chat about what I can point a camera at for you.
