WHO WE ARE

Stellar X Studios is an independent film company built on the belief that age, experience, or industry connections should never be barriers to filmmaking. Founded by Alexander Rivera and powered by a group of dedicated, like-minded creatives, we are here to prove that passion, collaboration, and storytelling matter more than anything else.

We don’t see ourselves as just another indie film company. We are a team—a collective of young filmmakers determined to show that great films are not made by budget alone, but by the people behind them. Through grit, resourcefulness, and a deep love for cinema, we are carving our own path, telling meaningful stories, and proving that anyone can make high-quality films when they surround themselves with the right people.

Alexander Rivera: The Filmmaker Behind the Vision

Born in Sanford, Florida, Alexander Rivera is a Hispanic-American director, writer, and producer whose journey into filmmaking was anything but traditional. Growing up, he was fascinated by cinema, drawn to the emotional depth and spectacle of film. But despite his love for storytelling, his initial career path was far removed from the industry.

While attending Florida State University, Alexander was on track to pursue medical school, driven by a desire to help people and make a difference. However, his passion for film never faded, and he began exploring filmmaking as a creative outlet. What started as a hobby soon became something much greater.

In the span of just a year, Alexander and a team of close friends produced five short films, each project sharpening their skills and proving that storytelling didn’t require Hollywood-sized budgets. This experience ultimately led to the ambitious leap into feature filmmaking.

At just 19 years old, Alexander directed his first feature film, Retrospection, a complex, non-linear sci-fi thriller made on a $2,500 budget. The production was a testament to perseverance, resourcefulness, and the unwavering belief that storytelling is not about how much money you have, but about the people you create with.

Alexander doesn’t see himself as a filmmaker who “beat the odds.” Instead, he sees himself as proof that the only real limitation is the one you place on yourself. His goal is to continue creating films that inspire, entertain, and prove that anyone with a story to tell—and the right people by their side—can make something incredible.

Stellar X Studios: A Film Company Without Limits

Stellar X Studios was not created to follow the industry’s rules. It was formed to break them.

In an era where filmmaking is often seen as something reserved for established names, big budgets, or those with Hollywood connections, we exist to prove otherwise. Our philosophy is simple: Age doesn’t matter. Industry experience doesn’t matter. What matters is dedication, passion, and the right team of people who believe in each other.

Built on Collaboration

From the very beginning, Stellar X Studios has been about teamwork. No single person carries the weight of a film alone. Every member of our team—whether in front of the camera, behind it, or in post-production—is equally responsible for bringing our stories to life.

Our first feature, Retrospection, was not the work of one person, but of an entire group of young, passionate, and dedicated individuals who came together with a shared goal: to make something that mattered. We didn’t have a huge budget, we didn’t have Hollywood resources—but we had each other.

What We Stand For

• Story over spectacle. Special effects and huge budgets don’t make a great film—compelling characters and strong storytelling do.

• Collaboration over ego. Filmmaking is a team effort, and everyone’s contributions matter.

• Passion over experience. You don’t need a resume filled with industry jobs to make a great film. You need the dedication to bring a vision to life.

As we move forward, Stellar X Studios will continue creating films that push boundaries, inspire others, and prove that anyone can make cinema. We are not just filmmakers—we are storytellers, collaborators, and dreamers who refuse to be defined by the industry's limitations.

This is Stellar X Studios. This is just the beginning.
