Alex Levy studied filmmaking and editing under the tutelage of the late Professor Emeritus Kenneth Robinson, whose particular claim to fame was as co-editor of the film Purple Rain. His instruction of editing was deeply insightful. Here's a beautiful tribute to Ken from another former student.

He moved to Oakland, CA after college and found work as a content creator for a Mayoral Campaign. Levy later returned to Poughkeepsie, NY to start a small production company. After relative success (though not commercially), he moved home to Baltimore to finish editing his feature documentary about a Catholic Monk.
"Working on a documentary is like starting a campfire. Collect the material, assemble it just so, light it up, and gather folks around to enjoy the warmth.
Wait, it's like preparing a meal! Collect the ingredients, throw them on the skillet, make sure you time it right with the music, prep the plate and serve... maybe? Watch the damn movie."
