Alexander Porter

Alexander Porter is a director, inventor, and educator. He uses digital capture techniques to tell affective stories in immersive formats. Out of this creative practice he has defined a concept of 'volumetric filmmaking' through founding a leading immersive studio, and creating the first and most widely used software and community for volumetric video production. He strives to apply these often obtuse techniques to important or personal topics ranging from environmental justice, to mental health and fine art. Awards include an Emmy award, an Emmy nomination, multiple Webby awards, and other festival awards for immersive work. He was an inaugural member at New Inc and is a current resident at ONX. He teaches his approach to filmmaking at Johns Hopkins and NYU.
