Biography

Alec Gillis started his career in 1980 at Roger Corman's New World Pictures. During this time, he worked alongside future industry icons such as James Cameron and Gale Ann Hurd, while also attending UCLA Film School. By 1985, he joined Creature FX legend Stan Winston ("Aliens," "Predator," "Pumpkinhead"). There, he met Tom Woodruff, Jr., and together they founded the Creature FX studio Amalgamated Dynamics, Inc. (ADI) in 1988.

The pair won an Oscar for their work on "Death Becomes Her" and received nominations for "Alien 3" and "Starship Troopers." They also earned BAFTA and Saturn Awards for "Starship Troopers" and "Jumanji."

In addition to his FX work, Gillis is an author. His book Worlds: A Mission of Discovery has been optioned by a major studio. He has also written several screenplays and created a television series.
