Alex Ross Perry, a multifaceted American creative force, has made a significant impact in the world of film as a director, screenwriter, and actor. His cinematic journey began when he graduated from the prestigious film program at New York University in 2006.
Perry's initial foray into feature filmmaking was marked by the 2009 release of Impolex, a groundbreaking and unconventional comedy that drew inspiration from Thomas Pynchon's critically acclaimed novel Gravity's Rainbow. Notably, the film was made on a shoestring budget of $15,000 and shot on 16mm film stock, a testament to Perry's resourcefulness and dedication to his artistic vision.
The Color Wheel, Perry's sophomore feature, premiered at film festivals in 2011 and showcased his ability to craft a darkly comedic narrative that drew parallels with the works of Philip Roth. This critically acclaimed film, co-written with Carlen Altman, also featured the duo in the lead roles, demonstrating Perry's versatility as a performer and his ability to collaborate with others to create a unique and captivating cinematic experience.
