ALEX MORSANUTTO is an award-winning filmmaker who creates stylized films, commercials, and TV series.

Alex's career began by cutting his teeth on hard hitting journalism, working the sports beat for his local newspaper and later ABC News.

After realizing that covering news was a bit too dramatic for him, he embarked on a journey to create films for a living and created a boutique production company called Silvermine Productions. In his short time on the grind, Alex has worked with esteemed clients such as Unilever, Brother Printer, Kiehl’s, CBS, Kona Brewing Company, and Chevrolet.

His knack for creative storytelling led him to create a "sweet disco" film named Hi-Glow Retro, which screened at a bunch of film festivals across the world and brought home several awards. The film was also featured in No Film School, Short of The Week, and Cinephilia & Beyond.

In 2017, Alex realized that producing newsworthy pieces may not be that bad and created a short sports docu-series called Waiting. The first episode was on NFL free agent, DJ Morrell, which premiered on The Atlantic and FOX Sports.

Alex created Operation Cavity, a children’s adventure series, which premiered at the Oscar-Qualifying HollyShorts film festival. Most recently, Alex produced TRAPPED, which won the Special Jury Award at SXSW 2024.

On top of his directing accolades, Alex wrote a pilot for a sports drama called Beasts of Suburbia, which made it to the final round of Sundance’s Episodic Lab.

Overall, Alex is a pretty good guy if he could say so himself. In 2019, he helped form the first ever film festival in his hometown in Norwalk, Connecticut called the Norwalk Film Festival.

This year, Alex was selected as “40 Under 40 most influential up-and-comers in Connecticut” by Connecticut Magazine.

Alex is a first-generation American and has dual-citizenship with the EU. He graduated from NYU Tisch with honors and student loans, double-majoring in Film/TV Production & Journalism.
