Producer
A film does not make itself.
It takes an unseen amount of time, planning, effort and people to produce
and organize every aspect of production. Nor do they pay for themselves. They
are businesses in and of themselves, designed as a product for profit. As
a producer for five films, Alex Ginnsz knows the challenges and demands required
to make a good film: The delicate balancing act of budgets and artistic freedom.
Knowledge of the rules, stipulations, and legalities of actors, crew, equipment,
and locations. The process of Pre-Production through Post and Distribution
to fulfill the artistic potential and profit of a completed film.
Writer
A film can only be as good
as the story that is told. For that story to be told it must first be written.
No matter how well produced, acted, or directed a film maybe, a lousy script
will always be just that, and the film will reflect that quality. A good script
will give a foundation that is invaluable for the rest of the creative process.
As the writer of numerous feature and short scripts, including 4 produced
independent short films, Alex Ginnsz believes this aspect of the creative
process to be the most important in the production. Snappy dialogue and catch
phrases, flowing together in a lyrical harmony compliment the deep, emotionally
layered characters that are woven in each of Alex’ scripts. Every story is
told with an inherent curiosity of what follows next, told in non-cliché and
original ideas. Every story a moment of truth, emotion, questions, and the
possibility of answers wrapped in life’s drama and excitement. Every story
told in words awaiting their moment to be told in pictures, to live as film.
Director
As
a director, Alex Ginnsz gives life to these words and stories. Adding to the
story what only real life and a thousand word image can provide. Told through
actors whose performance is as seamless and believable as could ever be caught
on video or celluloid. Every shot framed and lit to move the plot, characters,
and to convey the meanings and themes of that story. Every scene a story in
itself. Every film an example of the power to move and change the life of
the viewer through the artistic medium of film.
