- Born in the West End of London, Alexander Emmert moved to the United States as a young man. A short music career preceded his academic exploits at the University of Oregon and Harvard, after which he began a lucrative tenure as an Executive Recruiter in New York until one of his early loves in life, performing, drew him away from the corporate world.
Mr. Emmert has performed on stage and in numerous independent and studio films, as well as in television series and specials. He is a Big Four repped screenwriter and independent film producer. Emmert also served as Program Director for Encore Entertainment's Creative Theatre Group Summer Camps for Film and Theatre in 2003, prior to incorporating Invictus Films in 2004. He has directed several music videos (most recently for The Replacements/Soul Asylum/Guns N Roses bassist Tommy Stinson), and written and produced numerous historical documentaries for cable television.
Alexander Emmert wrote, produced and directed "The Judas Kiss", which was the Grande Premiere Event at the Monaco International Festival of Film; co-produced and directed "Between Us, Love", which is headlining the Urban World Festival in New York City, and was Assistant Producer and Assistant Director of "Elle: A Modern Cinderella Tale", which won Best Family Feature at the Newport Beach Films Festival. Mr. Emmert and his team have also created several renowned historical documentaries, including "The Revolution", "Rome: Rise and Fall of an Empire" and the "Rome: Engineering An Empire" special, which won two Primetime Emmys and was nominated for two others.
While continuing to perform in front of the camera and on the stage, Mr. Emmert's producing and screenwriting career have taken flight. He works on both US coasts and in Europe, and is hopeful of expanding Invictus Films' coproductions into Asia and Australia in the 2020s and beyond.- IMDb mini biography by: Chelsea Bishop

- If there is any "formula" to a film's success, it is definitely in elements rather than numbers, that is to say, its artistic chemistry rather than its prefigured calculations.
- People who do not care about reading the script, and only want to see your business plan, are NOT Allies. They are Accountants.
- I have two bits of advice for anyone who wants to be in entertainment. The first is that you can never, never, ever give up under any circumstances, no matter how severe or untenable they seem to be! And the other is that if someone offers you a breath mint, take it.
- To create is to voluntarily be frustrated and flummoxed while simultaneously feeling inspired and intrigued. It is to constantly imagine, play, rip and rebuild. It is the bright star in the sky, the land across the sea. It is eternal resurrection.
- The intersection of Art and Commerce is where you are most likely to be hit by a bus.
