Hello - I'm Alex, and this is MERIMAKR.
I'm a filmmaker based in London with over ten years across the media industry - advertising, corporate, viral content, TV and film. In that time I've made more than 1,000 films for 100+ clients, trusted to take work from first idea to final delivery. For years I worked under my own name as a freelancer, building my reputation purely by word of mouth. MERIMAKR is the next chapter: the same hands-on care, now with an official setup and the ability to bring in the right collaborators for bigger jobs.
I specialise in short-form commercial and branded content, and the work has certainly travelled - over one billion views collectively online. I've delivered films for brands including Nothing, Disney+, Milwaukee, Salesforce, Meta, Bacardi, Aramco and Maxis GBN, working both directly and through agencies such as McCann. Along the way I've made films involving Kevin Hart, Stormzy, Hans Zimmer, Lewis Hamilton and Casey Neistat, with coverage in the BBC, British GQ, Huffington Post and MTV.
On the film side, my edits include Queer Parivaar (Best British Short at the Iris Prize, BAFTA-qualifying and broadcast on Channel 4), Always, Asifa (BAFTA-nominated), Sent to Cov for Sky Arts, and The Lime Green Shirt, which premiered at BFI Flare.
The name says it plainly: we're merry makers. Every project runs through me personally, from the first conversation to the final export, so you always know exactly who you're working with.
