Alex Cox
Alex Cox is a British-American film director, screenwriter and actor. Cox saw widespread success in the hollywood-counterculture movement of the 1980's with his cult films Repo Man and Sid and Nancy. Following the highly controversial release of his ambitious and surreal bio-pic Walker in 1986, Alex has stoically pursued a career in independent cinema. His most recent film, funded on Kickstarter and made while teaching at the University of Colorado, was an entirely student-made adaptation of Harry Harrison's sci-fi novel Bill the Galactic Hero. Now, Tombstone Rashomon is his homage to Akira Kurosawa steeped in the mythology of the old-west. What really happened at The Gunfight at the OK Corral?

3 Businessmen: A User's Guide
In the 1990s all the feature films I made were shot in a style the Mexicans call "plano secuencia" (a single master for every scene). I was inspired in this by my friend the director Arturo Ripstein. It was a response to editing strategies which had become increasingly...Watch Movie
