We had the good fortune of connecting with Alex Gil and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Alex, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
My thought process behind starting my media company was rooted in a deep desire to capture memories that people can cherish forever. I wanted to create high-quality visuals that preserve the emotions and moments that matter most, allowing them to live on for generations. By starting my own business, I was able to focus on delivering that level of quality and care to each client, ensuring their memories are captured in the best possible way.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
What sets me apart is that I don’t just deliver amazing content—I bring a personality that sparks fun and excitement, bringing out the best in people. I’m most proud of continuing my journey and expanding my company to work with clients all over the world.

I started my media business as a freshman in college by doing a lot of free work. I knew that building a strong portfolio was key, and that free work would open doors to bigger opportunities. It wasn’t easy; I worked hard without making money to support myself, but I stayed persistent, pushing through the challenges because I knew it would pay off.

What I want the world to know about my story is that it took a lot of time, hard work, and persistence to get where I am today. It wasn’t easy, but I never gave up, and that’s why I’m here now and I am still working hard!
