Sweet Trimz is a boutique production and post-production vessel, based in Los Angeles, and featuring a creative retreat in Northern California.
At the helm, Alex Rodríguez, a film director and film editor with a career spanning three decades in Mexico, Europe and the United States.
Alex just wrapped Extraction 2, directed by Sam Hargrave, starring Chris Hemsworth, Golshifteh Farahani and Adam Bessa. A Netflix film written by Joe Russo and produced by AGBO.
Alex’s credits include Y Tu Mamá También and Children of Men, both directed by Alfonso Cuarón, Mosul, by Mathew Carnahan, Anon, by Andrew Niccol and Carré Blanc, by Jean-Baptiste Léonetti and collaborations with Daniel Barber, Gabriele Muccino and Laurent Cantet.
Aside from his editing career, Alex is currently writing a script based on the same characters of his short film Esperando al Gordo (Waiting for Gordo) starring Joaquín Cosío and Gerardo Taracena. Cosío plays a journalist that has been threatened to death. Trying to escape his faith, he seeks the help of a long lost friend, Taracena, a dodgy lawyer swimming away in the murky waters of Mexican politics.
And in partnership with Julien Prévost, in development is an action thriller to feature Adam Bessa (Mosul, Extraction) as an expat working on a big infrastructure project in the Mayan Peninsula. A story of paradise turned nightmare in the tropical heat.
-Press-
““With great contributions from director of photography Mauro Fiore and editor Alex Rodriguez, and with Morocco standing in for Mosul, writer-director Carnahan has delivered a gripping, intense recent-history war film. This is one of the best movies of 2020.””
“As a visceral, immersive experience, however, Mosul works just fine. Mexican editor Alex Rodríguez (Children of Men, Y Tu Mama También) paces the film beautifully, alternating between quiet lulls and action scenes that provide a disorienting adrenaline overload.”
“DP Mauro Fiore’s fervent, explosive handheld cinematography has undeniable visceral impact, as does Oscar-nominated Alex Rodríguez’ taut, capable editing.”
