Memorable events from this time include a disastrous stint as a pigeon wrangler on a shoot for commercial director Steve Horn and working as a PA on several low budget films.Turner eventually began directing music videos and made the transition to directing commercials for clients including McDonalds, General Electric and Quaker State.Alexs acclaimed short film CHUCK has screened in over thirty film festivals.
