Alex has 25 international award wins under his belt including a recent vimeo pick of the day

The original independent director’s agent has signed the internationally awarded Ukrainian film & commercials director, who started his career as a copywriter, then as creative director doing stints at various prestigious global agencies.

Alex is a global citizen who has lived and prospered in major cosmopolitan cities including New York. He has recently relocated to London with his family from his home city of Kyiv. 

There is barely a country he hasn’t shot in and has over 50 successful TVCs under his belt along with over 25 international awards which include a recent vimeo pick of the day. 

He is also highly collaborative and a true craftsman, passionate about every aspect of film making.

Watch Alex’s reel here 

Johnny Foreigner’s Olivia Hirschberg has this to say about the signing, "When Alex got in touch with us it was a no-brainer. He’s an incredible talent who’s career and livelihood have been forced to relocate. We are lucky to have him on board and excited to help him build his reel over here."

Karen James, Hirschberg’s partner at Johnny Foreigner was keen to add "His recent film ‘Breathless’ has got to be one of the most beautiful shorts I’ve ever set eyes on. I can’t wait to share it with our network."

Alex Sobolev says of his move to London, ‘We didn’t have much time to plan our move and getting my career moving quickly here is important. Olivia and Karen are a great team and I love their enthusiasm for my work and energy to open doors with the kind of brands and filmmakers who are right for me.
