For local filmmaker Alejandro Hendricks, making a film comes down to one thing: “seeing (a moment) come to life.”
Hendricks began making short films as early as high school and studied digital media at Texas State University. Now, he works across the country shooting narrative films, music videos, weddings, and documentaries.
We spoke with Hendricks after he presented his work at AfroTech, a traveling tech festival for Black industry professionals put on by The Center for Cultural Power.
In connection with his formative era, Hendricks finds most of his inspiration from early 2000s cinema and specializes in Lo-Fi cinematography.
Creating a moment is exactly what Hendricks did in his newest short film, “The Outskirts of Time,” which follows a young couple falling in love and won an award for best actor from the Austin Spotlight Film Festival.
