Independent VFX and creative studio Lux Aeterna has appointed Alex Dilworth as design creative director, strengthening the studio’s creative leadership as it continues to expand its work across film, high-end television, documentary, unscripted storytelling, and immersive content.
With over 20 years in the industry, Dilworth has built a practice spanning film, television, and large-scale visual experiences.
“Alex combines a strong design sensibility with a clear storytelling instinct,” said Rob Hifle, founder and director, Lux Aeterna. “His approach aligns naturally with how we work across editorial, VFX, and design.”
Prior to joining the team, Dilworth held senior creative roles where he collaborated closely with directors, editors, and VFX teams on a wide range of premium television and film projects. His work encompasses flagship natural history title sequences such as The Green Planet, Earth, and Planet Earth III, as well as the visual identity for Netflix’s History 101, which received a Collision Design Award. In addition, Dilworth has designed broadcast packages and large-scale visuals for global live events and installations. Some of his recent credits include creative direction and graphic design for the Netflix documentary Chimp Empire, and Ocean with David Attenborough for NatGeo/Disney+.
In his new role, Dilworth will work across Lux Aeterna’s slate to help shape direction from early development through post-production.
“The caliber of the work at Lux Aeterna speaks for itself,” said Dilworth. “What really drew me in was the value placed on the creative process from the top down. I love not knowing what the next brief will look like, or what form the solution will take. That freedom to explore, and to do so collaboratively, is incredibly energizing.”
