Alex Chandon is a film director, writer and digital-artist. He was once known primarily for specialising in straight-to-video micro-budget horror films, but his latest projects, especially Borderline (2006) show a more mature side to his work. Borderline has now now been chosen for the British Film Institute's National Archive. His highest-profile release to date is Cradle of Fear (2001), starring Dani Filth in a leading role, and other members of Cradle of Filth in cameo appearances. Chandon's relationship with that band has also produced video clips for the songs "From the Cradle to Enslave", "No Time to Cry" and "Her Ghost in the Fog", as well as documentaries on their DVDs PanDaemonAeon and Heavy, Left-Handed and Candid. His early films, Drillbit and Bad Karma featured many musicians from the UK Anarcho Punk scene, notably Ben Bethell, Dan MacCintyre, William 'Bill' Corbett and Julian Portinari from, respectively, The Apostles and Pallor.
