“Alex proved himself to be an extremely dedicated worker and took on every challenge professionally. He was instrumental in the completion of our 3D animated short both as a methodical character animator, talented voice actor and most importantly, he is the guy you want in the trenches with you when everything starts to get out of control. If it were not for his enthusiasm and leadership, I am certain we would not of been as successful, proven by the fact that our short is now gaining selections into prestigious film festivals.” September 20, 2011

“Alex is an amazingly humble individual with the capacity to assert himself when the need arises. I can honestly say that I've never worked with somebody who can make so much happen with so little say. His work speaks volumes for itself, as it never suffers at the expense of time constraints or lack of attention to detail. His dedication to meeting deadlines is undeniably one if innumerable traits that will keep me coming to Alex for years to come.” October 7, 2011
