About Alexis
About me: A producer and director for over 25 years, I have worked in independent cinema, audiovisual production, and the coordination of cultural projects, both in Belgium and internationally. Over the years, I have supported films, writers, and crews at every stage: from the initial idea to production and distribution. Alongside my professional work, I teach at an international film school, where I cover directing, producing, and project development. For me, teaching is not simply an extension of my practice; it is a deep commitment, fueled by the conviction that filmmaking is transmitted as much through experience as through reflection and remains a major driver of change. Why I teach: After 25 years in the industry, I now have a clear and deliberate desire to share what I have learned on the job: the successes, the mistakes, the trade-offs, the sometimes necessary sacrifices, but also the creative solutions that allow a project to exist despite the constraints. I believe in a cinema that is: * demanding in its content * clear-sighted about its methods * pooling the creative strengths of the team * and grounded in the realities of contemporary production. My approach can be summarized as: “Executive Producing bridging creativity and pragmatism: out-of-the-box ideas, lean execution.” My teaching approach: I don't offer ready-made solutions. I guide each student based on their project, their level, and their intentions. My role is to help you: * clarify what you truly want to say * make coherent production choices * understand the realities of production * structure your approach without stifling your creativity * move forward with method, confidence, and discernment. I pay particular attention to human dynamics (communication, teamwork, co-creation), because a film is always a collective adventure.

J'ai eu l'opportunité de suivre des cours de production cinématographique avec Alexis, et cette expérience a été extrêmement enrichissante.
Il m'a transmis une vision complète de l'industrie, tout en m'aidant à définir mes propres objectifs de carrière et à adopter une attitude professionnelle sur le terrain et dans l’industrie du cinéma.
Ce qui distingue Alexis, c'est son parcours international.
Cette expérience est un atout précieux : il m'a appris à comprendre les différentes méthodes de travail à l'étranger, ce qui est essentiel dans le milieu du cinéma.
Grâce à son expertise et à sa grande disponibilité, Alexis a su répondre à toutes mes interrogations. Ses conseils concrets m'ont permis de structurer mes projets et de progresser rapidement.
Il maîtrise parfaitement les rouages de ce secteur, même dans ses aspects les plus complexes.
Je suis très reconnaissante pour son accompagnement, qui a marqué une étape clé dans mon parcours.
Je recommande vivement Alexis à toute personne souhaitant évoluer dans l'audiovisuel, son expertise et son écoute font de lui un excellent professeur.I have had the privilege of having Alexis as a mentor, coach, and teacher during my time at film school, and later also as a colleague in an international film production. Alexis is an exceptionally professional and knowledgeable filmmaker with extensive experience from both small and large productions, nationally as well as internationally.
He has worked in virtually every role within film production, which gives him a unique overall perspective and a deep understanding of every stage of the process. As a producer, he particularly impressed me with his expertise, his calm approach, and his ability to lead a team in an inspiring way.
His genuine knowledge shines through both in the teaching I have received from him and in high-pressure professional settings. His constant helpfulness continues to support my growth almost daily as an aspiring documentary filmmaker. Combined with his passion for filmmaking and his ability to teach as well as collaborate, Alexis is truly an invaluable asset to any project. I can therefore wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for a professional, experienced, and dedicated filmmaker and leader. /Peter Gunnebro
