Alexander Black is a writer and painter best known for his work on Star Trek: Enterprise (2001) and the $100 million dollar feature Axa. Alexander attended a number of art schools, but left Parsons in New York to learn the traditional art of Renaissance oil painting by traveling and studying in Europe. Alexander's mother is a writer and his father is a theater actor in the Netherlands. His early life was marked by constant travel as his father moved from job to job.
Alexander's feature film experience includes work on the $100 million feature Axa from October Pictures (Transformers: Age of Extinction (2014) (2014), and The Dark Knight (2008) (2008)), and the $23 million feature Orpheus. Alexander has worked with directors including Colin Trevorrow (Jurassic World (2015)) and Sidney Lumet. In addition to feature work, Alexander has contributed to series projects including Star Trek: Enterprise (2001) and Forever (2014).
Alexander's paintings have been shown around the world, including at the 53rd Venice Biennale (2009) in the Nordic Pavilion as part of "The Collectors", and at FIAC (2010), Cour Carrée du Louvre, with GMVZ.
Alexander established a painting studio near his second home in Micronesia that overlooks the Mariana's Trench, the world's deepest Ocean channel. The area was explored by James Cameron during his record setting dive and recent documentary and is often called "The Dragon's Triangle." Many consider the area to be one of the world's primary conjunctions of ley lines. A nearby island, Pohnpei Island, Micronesia, is the site of the megalithic city of Nan Madol, a mysterious set of ancient stone ruins in the Pacific Ocean.
Alexander's passion for the stars and ancient mythology infuse his work and provide a spiritual experience for viewers, connecting them both to the Classical tradition and also to the esoteric teachings of philosophers such as Pythagoras and Empedocles. Alexander sees salvation for the world coming from the past, from the hidden reservoirs of mysticism and magic that lay just below the materialist veneer of the modern world.- Director

Alexander Black was an American author, photographer and newspaperman born in New York City, the eldest child of Peter Black and Sarah MacCrae, both born in Scotland. After a grammar school education and teaching himself printmaking, he began his career as a newspaperman in Brooklyn and stenographer for Brooklyn courts, alongside freelance writing and photography. In 1886 he became the first president of the department of photography at the Brooklyn Institute of Arts and Sciences. He presented a magic lantern show of candid photography called "Life through a Detective Camera" (alternately titled "Ourselves as Others See Us") in 1889. Inspired by audience responses to these lectures, as well as emerging work by Eadweard Muybridge capturing the effect of motion in photography, Black began to develop a plan to bring fiction to life through dissolving slides. Over the summer of 1894, he wrote and photographed his first "Picture Play" titled Miss Jerry (1894). The finished work debuted before a live audience on October 9, 1894 at Carbon Studio, featuring a "slow movie" composed of over one hundred glass slide photographs of posed motion, accompanied by a feature-length script. Miss Jerry was well received at the time, and Black went on to create and tour with two more Picture Plays, A Capital Courtship (1896) and The Girl and the Guardsman (1899). In the years following the Picture Play, he went on to become a popular novelist, publishing several books into the 1930s, including adaptations of his three Picture Plays. He also continued to experiment with photography and film, creating several home made 16mm films featuring special effects and titles.- Producer
