Biography

Alexander Jeffery hails from Calgary, Alberta, Canada, was raised in El Dorado, Arkansas and is now based in Shreveport, Louisiana where he co-owns the production company Bespoke Works LLC with his friend and longtime collaborator, Paul Petersen. After receiving a double major in Theatre Performance and Film & New Media from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln in 2011, Alexander moved to Los Angeles to pursue his dreams of acting and filmmaking. Quickly realizing Los Angeles wasn't the right fit for him, Alexander moved back to the south to make low-budget, independent films with his friends.

His first feature film, A Chance Encounter, was released by Samuel Goldwyn Films in October of 2022, both theatrically and on-demand, after winning the audience choice award at Heartland Film Festival in 2020. In 2015, his short film The Bespoke Tailoring of Mister Bellamy won the $50,000 Grand Prize at the Louisiana Film Prize. MTV called it "an acutely relevant, achingly human film." Alexander's latest feature, Days of Daisy, was recently picked up for distribution by Good Deed Entertainment, and his first feature-length documentary, You Have No Idea, won the Audience Choice award for Best Southern Feature at the Oscar-qualifying Hot Springs Documentary Film Festival in 2022.

Coming from a long line of educators, Alexander loves mentoring film and acting students of all ages and experience. He also strives to be a life-long student of the world and an avid traveler like his grandfather who had a profound impact on him.
