Alex Coppedge

Alex Coppedge is a filmmaker and virtual production innovator whose work lives at the intersection of story and the cutting edge of cinematic technology. Alex has spent over a decade pushing the boundaries of what the frame can hold. From intimate character moments to the sweeping mythologies of Dune: Prophecy, 1923, The Handmaid’s Tale, and Francis Ford Coppola’s Megalopolis, his creative philosophy is simple: technology earns its place only when it serves the story.

That conviction has shaped everything he’s built: eight years leading virtual production at PwC’s enterprise ICVFX stage, an adjunct professorship at NYU’s Martin Scorsese School of Virtual Production, two Epic Games Fellowships, and his work as a writer-director. A Tribeca Film Institute selectee and Cannes Silver Dolphin recipient, Alex has become a compelling voice for virtual production as a genuine storytelling instrument. When the art is intentional and the volume is lit, then performance is grounded, and the story demands it. The technology disappears. What’s left is the truth of the scene.
