Alexis was drawn to films as a child, but fell in love with filmmaking when visiting a film set with his uncle. For Alexis, it's the mix of routine and unexpected challenge, as well as the constant stream of new technologies that make visual effects such an exciting field. In another life, he would have been a chef, because it has a lot in common with visual effects: it's an artistic but precise craft, and you have to deliver something that you can be proud of within a very specific timeframe.
