Alex is currently working on
developing a biopic on Napster creator Shawn Fanning for
MTV. Tentatively titled Downloaded: The Rise and
Fall of Napster, the film will chronicle the rise of
Napster from a small time dorm room filesharing program
into its becoming a subject of an all out media frenzy
and record company litigious onslaught. |
 |
Crossroads Films has optioned the dark comedy spec "Acts of Charity," written by Chips Hardy.
Alex is attached to direct the pic, which follows the trials and tribulations of a young corporate executive sent on a humanitarian mission in the African jungle. Story was developed by Hardy and Winter.
