Alexander Greenhough

Alexander Greenhough co-created three low-budget features from the so-called Aro Valley Film Movement: all tales of 20-something ennui set in Wellington. He directed, co-wrote, and co-produced I Think I'm Going (2003), then with Elric Kane, co-directed, co-wrote, and co-produced Murmurs (2004) and Kissy Kissy (2007). All three premiered at the NZ International Film Festival. Greenhough also directed short When We're Apart with Kane, drawn from an unreleased feature whose production inspired Kissy Kissy. Now based in the United States, he has taught writing and rhetoric at Stanford University since 2021.

Their films belie their low-budget origins, and show that directors armed with a literate script, talented actors, a lot of energy and above all courage, can make interesting and thought-provoking films.
