About Me
Alex's work has been published in the Montreal Gazette, Intermission Magazine, and his last screenplay Fugazi was fully-produced, garnering him a meeting with Netflix.
His hands-on experience with storytelling across various formats, both on and behind the scenes, provides him with a sweeping approach to the written word. He values research, audience expectations, and authenticity in his writing. In 2020, Alex founded Camacho Weiner Inc with his longtime writing partner, and they are currently in development for their next TV series, Oscar's Oscar.
Alex lives in Toronto with his wife and their fur-baby Scout. He enjoys yerba mate, introducing himself to strangers, and going to see movies at two in the afternoon. He is currently reading the Song Of Ice And Fire book series.

Still we gathered, convinced that such a modest group would be of no consequence. The risks were low, and we would handle ourselves with care.
