Alex is a common name used in multiple languages. In English, it is usually a diminutive of the male given name Alexander, or its female equivalent Alexandra or Alexandria. Aleck or Alec is the Scottish form of Alex. The East European male name Alexey (Aleksei, Alexis, Aleksa) is also sometimes shortened to Alex. It is a commonly used nickname in Spanish for Alejandro, Alexandro, Alejandrino and Alexandrino, and related names like Alexa and Alexis.
Alex Usborne is a British film producer.
He won a Student Academy Award at age 26 for See You At Wembley, Frankie Walsh. Since then he has specialised in producing films conceived and made in the North of England. His feature film The Acid House, adapted by Irvine Welsh from his collection of short stories by the same name, was released in 1999 by Film Four International to critical acclaim. Variety stated, "The Acid House makes Trainspotting look like a mild mannered youth comedy."
Usborne produced the films F*** Sheffield, and Large, a teen comedy directed by Justin Edgar for FilmFour and The Film Consortium.
Among Usborne's early films are the award-winning documentaries Johnny Fantastic and Brendan's Boys. Both films were about boxers in Sheffield.
Set in his home town of Sheffield, Tales from a Hard City is about four dreamers in search of a break in the Old Steel City. It was financed by Channel 4, Yorkshire Television, La Sept/ARTE, Eurimages and the CNC, and co-produced with JBA in France.

We know that people with disabilities are vastly underrepresented in the world of factual TV and documentaries. In theory – and in law – a "reasonable adjustment" to working conditions should allow them to compete. But do we always understand what constitutes a disability, let alone a "reasonable adjustment"? An inspired and inspiring expert panel from Sheffield Doc/Fest 2016 discuss some solutions to disability underemployment. The session was chaired by Karen Hoy and included Julie Shaw, Adam Pearson, Alex Usborne and Ade Rawcliffe. Filmed by Sheffield Hallam University students and edited by Matt Sturdy.
