Alex Geffen
Known for Murder in the Dark and Clean Slate
Alex Geffen as Trevor
Alex Geffen is a student of several acting disciplines. After taking a nearly 10-year hiatus from acting to pursue a career as a professional film and TV editor, he returns to the screen in Clean Slate—a film he also wrote and co-directed. He has been featured in several short films and, more recently, portrayed the character of JP in the Lifetime film Murder in the Dark. As an actor, he believes there is nothing more powerful than the art of portraying emotional truth on screen, and that the best performances are rooted in a deep sense of understanding and empathy.
Writer / Co-Director
Alex is a Texas-raised, Los Angeles based actor, writer, director, and editor. While acting is his first love, he has spent over a decade editing for film and television. He believes storytelling especially through film, has a unique power to shift perspectives and spark real-world change in a way traditional media often cannot. Focused on exploring the human condition, Alex aims to create work that challenges, inspires, and encourages other filmmakers to do the same.
Editor
As an editor, Alex has spent over a decade honing his skills, telling gripping and compelling stories through the art of the cut. Guided by the philosophy that the story always comes first, he believes an edit must serve the greater narrative above all else—one of the three rules of editing he lives by while cutting in Hollywood. With his sharp focus, close-knit attention to detail and a keen sense of thematic pacing, Alex brings a balanced, compelling flow to his projects, including the award-winning film Clean Slate. He has been mentored by some of Hollywood’s most prestigious editors, including Hank Corwin, ACE, and Liza Espines, ACE.
