“Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished.” - Lao Tzu

Neal Fagan (Director): This film started as a story about sport and natural winemaking, but it gradually shifted to a story about pace, the pace we force on ourselves, and the one our bodies keep telling us to return to.

While making it, I noticed the themes of the piece sneaking into the way I worked. I kept wanting to “solve” the film immediately, to have all the answers figured out, the same way a sprinter wants to force speed. But the process kept asking me to slow down, to listen, and to trust that those answers will come along the way.

In a strange way, the film taught me the thing it’s trying to say: that patience isn’t losing or being lost, it’s an act of rebellion, it’s an act of devote trust.

A quieter kind of strength.

I hope you feel some of that when you watch it and thank you to everyone who helped bring this film to life.

Madrid-born cinematographer with a solid technical background and profound artistic sensibility.

Originally considered studying architecture, Alex found in film a space where his passions for painting, music, literature, and photography converged. Fascinated by light and image, he began in camera and lighting departments, distinguishing himself as a gaffer on numerous films, documentaries, fiction series, advertising campaigns, and music videos eventually becoming a director of photography.


Education and Teaching
After studying Cinematography & Visual Arts in TAI Art School (Rey Juan Carlos Univeristy) with a dissertation on the shooting, exhibition and preservation of cinema in photochemical film format, he complemented his career with a Master's degree in Contemporary Art, Literature, and Culture from the Open University of Catalonia, where he lectured on Tarkovsky, a key influence on his work. He has also taught at the Madrid Film Institute and the TAI Art School (Rey Juan Carlos University) in wich he is at the moment strengthening and sharing his understanding of cinematic language as a teacher. 

Feature Projects and Future
After shooting "Incinerate" (2025), his first feature film, he combines his teaching work with advertising projects for brands like Adidas, Scalpers, Pull&Bear, Bete Noir, O´Neill or Chevrolet while developing two new feature films: "Los Elogios" (2026) and "Pulso Primigenio" (2027).

Press Interviews and appearances
"We sought to express the character's inner world through a combination of anamorphic and spherical lenses, which we used depending on the main character's mental state. We also moved away from naturalistic lighting and into a world of expressive and dynamic light, characteristic of the story's symbolism." Camera & Light Magazine, September Issue, 2024

His goal is to continue growing as a cinematographer, experimenting with light, framing, and movement as expressive tools. Alejandro considers cinema a complete form of expression, where the technical and the artistic intertwine. His work is based on collaboration and constant exploration.

On the other side of resistance, is flow. Flow is not an escape from life but an approach to living. We aim to elevate our community to a flow state, to help them escape the relentless noise of our current reality. In a world of constant connection, disconnection becomes an act of rebellion. Through surfing we are called to the water to become like water itself. We gain the ability to flow around obstacles. Using science and technology we develop great products with minimal impact. We turn hard rocks and oyster shells into soft neoprene.

Hermosario

Date
2025

Este libro es un misterio.
No es un poemario.
No es una confesión.
No es una liturgia, aunque a veces rece.
No busca enseñar ni sanar, pero sangra, pregunta, ama.

Hermosario es un cuerpo escrito en cinco misterios.
Un viaje por el deseo, la fe, la herida y la belleza.
Una ofrenda laica e íntima, donde cada página es un umbral.
Aquí no hay certezas: hay temblores, invocaciones, hay verdad.
Quien lo lea, que lo atraviese.
Quien lo sienta, que lo cargue.
Y si algo no se comprende, que se rece igual.

Aquí te cedo,
el hermoso misterio de un cuerpo.
