'Riding the Long White Cloud' Dir. Alex Craig
Aberdeen born director Alex Craig claims to have never had a plan. He has been driven by an obsession to observe, capture and manipulate images through the medium of film and television.
In 1999 he made his first trip to Canada where he met long-term collaborator Corey Adams. This trip inspired yearly visits during which the pair made a variety of off beat short films including the “Of Wolf & Limb” in 2002; “Swampdonkey,” a series of 24 webisodes in 2003; and the feature “Harvey Spannos” in 2005, winner of the FUEL TV Experiment. During the period of 1999 to 2007, Alex split his time between working on personal film projects and freelancing for major broadcasters in the UK, filming and directing documentaries, including the acclaimed series “Unsloved” in 2007 for STV.
He was instrumental in setting up a community-based media arts project, SHMU, in Aberdeen. Where he mentored groups of young people in film making. In 2007, Alex relocated to Vancouver, Canada to work alongside Corey in their first feature film Machotaildrop which premiered at Toronto International Film Festival in 2009.
Recently, he has continued his passion for capturing skateboarding culture on film with Riding the Long White Cloud a documentary and Britannia Beach Ramp
