Hi. My name is Alex Frenkel. I’m a Producer in Los Angeles. Here’s some stuff about me.
production philosophy
My production philosophy is pretty simple: stay adaptable, lead with clarity, and don’t be a jerk. I’ve spent my career managing high-pressure and unpredictable productions, where creative problem solving isn’t just a skill, it’s a way of life. I build systems that actually support the work: scalable, flexible, and ones that give people room to do their best.
But most importantly, I care deeply about the teams I lead, not just in terms of work output, but as humans beings. It’s a crazy world out there and we do a crazy job. Staying grounded and balanced is crucial so we can show up as our best selves for our teams and clients. I’m all about bringing creative to life without burning people out, keeping a clear head and a good attitude, and making sure the process is just as strong as the final product. Everything is figure-out-able. Lead with kindness, always.
So. With all that said: how can I help?
