Co-Founder Grammar Productions
Alex Bescoby is an award-winning filmmaker, author and broadcaster, and co-founder of Grammar Productions. He is the producer of Lobito Bound, which screens at Indaba on 11th February. Grammar Productions specialises in stories about extraordinary people and journeys, blending history, travel and geopolitics to tell compelling stories in accessible, cinematic ways. Alex has produced films and series for Apple TV, Amazon, BBC, Channel 4 and Sky, and for major global brands including INEOS Automotive, Revolut, the Commonwealth War Graves Commission and Africell. Before moving into filmmaking, Alex began his career in the extractive industries with Critical Resource, advising board-level leadership teams on social, political and licence-to-operate risks in frontier markets around the world. Making Lobito Bound - a film exploring race for Africa’s critical minerals – has therefore been a dream assignment.
