Introduction


My name is Alex King and I’m an aspiring storyboard artist with a passion for visual storytelling and a long-term goal of directing. I thrive in collaborative environments, currently directing my thesis film “Alyssum”, and bring hands-on experience from working as a Production Assistant across multiple projects.


Alyssum

Psychological, Drama, Action


Logline: Alyson, a young woman who’s struggling with perfectionism as she attempts to craft the perfect bouquet for her wife, Lilith. Overwhelmed by anxiety and self-doubt, she battles her inner critic, as she spirals deeper into self-doubt.Alyssum is my BFA capstone film, where I served as Director, Writer, Art Director, and Head of Story. These shots are highlighted sequences I personally fully boarded. For the full film, I created initial thumbnails for every scene before passing it off to revisionists to finalize select shots.Currently the film is still being worked on and wont be publicly released until film festival run is over.


Ashe: Character Intro

Action, Comedy


Logline: Born without magic in a world of animal powers, Ashe is expelled from a school he never truly belonged to and must prove he isn’t broken but that the world is.Spirit Bound is an 10 minute episodic-serialized TV show I have been working on for the past couple of months it is still under construction.


Chicken On The Run

Comedy


“Chicken On The Run” is an exercise storyboard project, with the prompt “Why did the chicken cross the road?” Was given.It was accepted and approved by a jury to be displayed at the “BFA Gallery” professionally.

Shot List

Mary-Go-Round

Director | Short Film | Psychological | JAN 2023 - MAY 2023


Logline: Mary wants to ride the Merry-Go-Round until she sees eyes that aren't her's- Oh! There's a new shiny horse.A bit about the film:
Mary-go-round is an allegory about the dangers of getting lost in superficial desires. The carousel represents the cycle of chasing things that seem shiny and exciting, but ultimately trap us. Mary starts off as a curious child, drawn to the allure of the ride. As the carousel spins, she slowly loses control, unaware that she's becoming part of the machine.
The eye in the mirror represents a moment of self-awareness, but by the time she realizes she’s trapped, it’s too late — she’s transformed into one of the horses, alive but unchanging. The story serves as a warning about losing oneself in the things we think will bring happiness but ultimately consume us.It’s not just about Mary’s fate — it’s about how any of us could end up on that carousel, becoming part of the ride.
