About Axel
Axel is an award winning writer & director who grew up in the rural college town of Clemson, South Carolina where he began his adventures in filmmaking.
While attending the University of Southern California, Axel’s directing career was sidetracked by rock & roll. Closure, the band he co-founded, signed with TVT Records which led to several years of touring North America and a mild case of fame. Once, he was recognized by two girls as the lead guitar player of Closure while standing in line to purchase Kleenex and a pack of gum at a London Drugs in Vancouver, BC.
After splitting from the band, Axel reconnected with filmmaking and now travels the world directing music videos and commercials.
Axel currently resides in New York City.
