The same attention, written down
Before any of this was on camera, it was on the page. Alex writes short fiction and novels under Blunt Point Press — the same eye for small, overlooked moments, just told a different way.

The Series
A recurring short-form series following real DoorDash and rideshare shifts — narrated, self-edited, and shot between deliveries. It started as a way to keep making something while doing the job that pays the bills. Somewhere along the way it turned into an ongoing documentary of its own.

“Once the mask comes off, the fear behind it collapses too. The dark side is the room where the machine that produces reality is hidden. Nobody is supposed to go in there because if you find the machine, the trick is over. The story ends. The dream wakes itself up.”
— Alex Calles

About the Author
Alex Calles is a food delivery filmmaker, self-published author, and illustrator based in Round Rock, Texas. He holds a B.S. in Digital Cinematography from Full Sail University, and has been creating illustration since the 1980s.
For the past six years, food delivery and rideshare work have been his day job — and, more recently, the raw material for a recurring short-form video series: real shifts, narrated and self-edited into short films. He calls it an ongoing documentary that happened to end up about his own life.
He also served as editor-in-chief of a Spanish-language magazine for five years, overseeing writers, artists, graphic design, and video production end-to-end. The visual work has always been in service of a larger story.
He's the author of three books, including The Back of a Mirror, published by Blunt Point Press — and he's still writing.
