Born and raised in the South Bronx, Alex Hugo knew he wanted to be a filmmaker the minute he grabbed his first camcorder. He recorded and captured everything from his neighborhood friends to his classmates in school. From 1992 through 2002 Alex created a documentary called “My Bronx Tale (10-year Time Capsule) which is now on Youtube.
In 2005, Alex Hugo started to generate revenue filming music videos under the name PBOYE FILMS. With over 100 music videos under his belt he wanted to challenge himself and live his dream to the fullest and go into film arena.
In 2014, while studying for his Masters in Business, he also joined an alternative acting school to understand how an actor thinks and the process of acting. This would make him understand fully on how to direct and support what an actor needs on set to get the best of him/her. Once he completed a year of training he started to go on auditions and take on roles. In 2015, he starred in his first short film “Red Sweat” which now has over 5 film festival awards. This first experience gave Alex an entire new platform and frame of mind of where he can go with this new skill. In late 2015, he wrote his own short film, brought together a team and shot it with an iPhone 4 plus.
In 2016, Alex released a limited series called, "BULLY: The Rise of Two Kings", based on a universe that revolves around two undercover cops Rico, played by Hugo, and Valentine, played by Oronde Baltimore. This was an addition to the first BULLY project, "The House Always Wins".
"BULLY: The Dead Don’t Die”, is the final chapter and first full length movie in the BULLY universe. It will be streamed and available on multiple platforms such as ROKU, DEJAVU TV , TUBI, PRIME VIDEO, and more starting Halloween 2020.
Upcoming projects include working on his spin off series, 'Big Italy, Little Bronx', and marketing his newest partnership with VR Hydra Glove, a workout glove that allows you to drink while you sweat.
