Indie Filmmaker Shooting Mob Sequel

FT. LAUDERDALE, Fla. - May 19, 2016 - PRLog -- Independent filmmaker, Peter Alexander, is currently in production on the sequel to a feature length film he shot while still in high school. "Connections Part 2: Final Affairs" is a mob drama set in South Florida about former boxer turned mob wise guy, Tony Marcello's struggle to stay on top and dodge his enemies.

Now a sophomore at Florida Gulf Coast University, the 19 year old Alexander is directing the follow up film from his own script and has recruited seventy fellow students and friends, many of whom are studying Media/Film in college as well. Filming on the project will run through Memorial Day weekend. He will co-edit the film once shooting is completed.

In April, Alexander worked with the special effects team on the upcoming horror film "Mara," starring Bond girl, Olga ("Quantum of Solace") Kurylenko. "Mara" just wrapped filming on location in Savannah, Georgia, and is expected for theatrical release in the spring of 2017.

Alexander is the fourth generation of a family connected to the cinema industry. His great-grandfather, Thomas Alexander, was a pioneer in motion picture cinemas in Pennsylvania from the nickelodeon era right up through the movie palace era of the 1930s. He also financed one reel silent comedies for Paramount Pictures. Peter's grandfather and father continued in the cinema industry through the 1980s. His father, Tom, is a screenwriter and film music composer, who co-scripted comedy legend, Leslie Nielsen's final film, the 2011 frat boy romp, "Stonerville."

Alexander has already written his next feature, a yet to be titled horror film.
