Alexander Koffler is an award-winning filmmaker and photographer with storytelling baked into his DNA. The great-grand nephew of legendary composer Kurt Weill and cousin to the iconic photographer Mary Ellen Mark, he grew up in New York City—a raw, chaotic, vibrant mess of graffiti-streaked walls, world-class museums, and the beats of jazz, hip hop, and hardcore echoing through the streets. It wasn’t just a childhood; it was an immersion in everything that makes life electric, beautiful, and unpredictable.

His artistic journey reads like a passport stamped with experiences most of us only dream about. Paris, with its stubborn elegance, sharpened his eye for the interplay of light and shadow. Tokyo threw him into a kaleidoscope of ancient rituals and neon futures. London’s layers of grime and grandeur forced him to rethink tradition. Bali’s spiritual undercurrent and Santa Fe’s stark, sprawling deserts taught him to listen to silence. And then there’s Los Angeles—equal parts magic and madness—where he joined forces with other visionaries, exploring new ways to tell stories through film and music.

Now in Austin, Alexander is still chasing the perfect frame, the perfect moment, the perfect story. Whether he’s capturing the smallest, most intimate details or orchestrating an entire production, his work is about connection—human, visceral, real. The kind of thing you don’t just watch; you feel.
