Alex Howard

Alex had several internships, including Atmosphere Entertainment and Phoenix Pictures where he worked for producer Mike Medavoy. He was with Warner Brothers on long-term assignment at DC Comics. He participated in RespectAbility’s Summer 2020 Lab for Entertainment Professionals and was a RespectAbility Fellow in 2021. He was co-host of the podcast Not Quite Hollywood. 

In 2019, Alex was diagnosed as one of only 19 people in the world with a rare disorder called MePAN. A significant symptom of MePan is limited vision. Alex is proactive in using technology to overcome disabilities. He is a passionate advocate of audio description for all media, everywhere, because audio description makes movies and TV shows more accessible for people like him. Alex’s ultimate goal is to help those with any kind of disability enjoy films and television so that, hopefully, more people will be able to connect and share a love for entertainment.
