Alex Godoy is a filmmaker focused on editing for film and television and color grading. His work leans into intimacy—contained frames, minimal sound, and visual choices that serve emotion. He has directed personal projects and favors storytelling that privileges gestures over speeches. With The Given (El Regalo)—a short inspired by his real story after losing his wife—he explores how to make room for what remains, without moralizing or spectacle. His aim is to tell with respect and technical precision, letting light, breath, and silence do the work.
