Alexander Hooper

Los Angeles,CA

Summary

I, Alex Hooper, bring invaluable experience to any Writers’ Room. I am well-versed in research, writing and editing wide range of content (formatting correctly via Final Draft when needed). I excel at managing hectic schedules, breaking down scripts, and offering exceptional administrative and creative support. However, my greatest asset lies in my on-set experience garnered over years behind the camera. Fluent in the language of each department, I seamlessly connect the room with the broader crew, serving as a peer and embodying the positive essence of the Writers’ Room and its collective talents.
