Alan McIntyre Smith

Alan worked his way up the indie film ladder from production assistant to Gaffer to cinematographer and director, working on films such as Happiness, The Station Agent, Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room, A VIGILANTE, Martin Scorsese Presents: The Blues, and many others. You won’t find him in the credits, but he also worked many days as an additional electric on The Royal Tenenbaums, A Beautiful Mind, and Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man.

After decades on set, Alan got a chance to direct a feature film, Stargazer, which played a dozen film festivals, winning awards for acting, cinematography, editing, music, and directing.
