About The Team

Alex Winter entered show business as a child actor with co-starring roles on Broadway in 'The King & I' and 'Peter Pan', and came to prominence starring in movies such as Warner Bros' hit 'The Lost Boys' and the wildly popular 'Bill & Ted' franchise. Winter has directed three narrative features: cult classic 'Freaked' for 20th Century Fox; 'Fever', for Lionsgate, which screened at Cannes; and 'Smosh: The Movie', which opened in 2015 as the #1 comedy on iTunes. Winter has directed hundreds of award-winning television commercials and music videos.

Winter's VH1 Rock Doc 'Downloaded' earned worldwide critical acclaim at theatrical and festival screenings. Winter's latest, multiple award-winning documentary 'Deep Web', had its world premiere at SXSW and a broadcast premiere in the U.S. on the Epix network, alongside a global festival tour. The film opened wide as the #1 documentary on iTunes.

Winter also completed two short documentary films for Laura Poitras's Field of Vision; 'Relatively Free' and 'Trump's Lobby'. Winter is now making 'Zappa', the first all-access documentary on the life and times of Frank Zappa. The Kickstarter campaign for this project was the highest funded documentary in crowdfunding history.
