SA Current's 2021 Best Local Filmmaker Alex Ramirez

Thank you so much to everyone who voted for me. This is very much appreciated. Thank you to the entire San Antonio Film scene: I care about you more than y'all could ever know. Thank you to my family and my wonderful friends. It really means a lot to take this at this trying time for the film industry. Congrats to all the other winners and runner ups.

First Virtual Reading of "Marriage at the End of the World"

I was so thrilled to stage my first full-length play in nearly a decade for Zoom. We had an incredible cast.

"The Quiet Shore" Wins Best Film, Cinematography at the Latino Feedback Film Festival

Winning this festival felt so amazing. The reviews were truly awe-inspiring. I’m glad this picture could connect to people who had no idea who I was.

The Random Format Show - Filmmaker Alex Ramirez (Ep. 2)

New San Antonio Film Society Board Member

This was truly unexpected and a blessing. I came back to San Antonio in late 2014 and have worked for 5 years to make a name for myself. The fact that I was asked to join that exclusive circle was very moving. In a way, it has validated a lot of the hard work I put in to be a driving force in our film community. It’s official now.

San Antonio Short Film Showcase (Series 2)

This was the second showcase I’ve been able to curate for Kerry at Alamo City Studios. One that I’m particularly proud of because I was able to get a SAY Sí student of mine in (Quinn Wilson) and alumni (Grace Goen) in. We were even lucky enough to get Ian Eskander’s Star Wars flick in from LA, which is currently blowing up virally. We’ll be picking back up in the Summer with a whole round of new films by talented SA filmmakers.

“BEAUTY AND THE BEAST” Places 1st at SA Film Slam

This was a picture I made back in 2014 before Disney’s live action version in 2017. Mostly inspired by love of horror video games like “Outlast.” All in all, a very solid enchanting little film. The poetry, which was originally written for the stage, is spoken marvelously by Claire. Originally a proof of concept for a much larger piece. Excited that a new audience welcomed it with open arms. Even more excited that both Fidel Ruiz-Healy and I got to stand up there with first place rankings at the end of the film slam. Great filmmaker.

Named Culture SA's "2018 Most Awesome Local Filmmaker"

What a year, all of which culminated to this distinction. And to learn that I would receive this on the same day that I premiere a new work (Rio Secado) in front of a San Antonio audience. The amount of people who voted for me is something I will never forget. Very much appreciated. I just hope I can keep making pictures truthfully and passionately.
