Alex Gibney is the founder of Jigsaw Productions. An Oscar, Emmy, and Grammy Award-winning producer, he is well known for producing one of the highest grossing documentaries of all time, Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room. In addition, Gibney is sought after for his experience in mounting large international productions, particularly multi-part series, such as Martin Scorsese’s Emmy and Grammy Award-winning The Blues and David Halberstam’s The Fifties.

An accomplished writer and director in his own right, Gibney is the leading creative force behind many of Jigsaw’s productions and is well known for crafting stories that take an unflinching look at the political landscape of America. His work as a writer and director includes the recent hit Client 9: The Rise and Fall of Eliot Spitzer, as well as the 2006 Oscar-nominated Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room and the 2008 Oscar-winning Taxi to the Dark Side.

While Gibney has produced films through Jigsaw for over 25 years, he also worked briefly as a director of special projects for the Samuel Goldwyn Company. And from 1998 to 2000, Gibney was the Senior Vice President of Offline Entertainment Group, a New York-based production company whose principals included producer Ezra Swerdlow and long-time collaborator, Marc Levin.

Gibney is a regular blogger for the Atlantic, and has also written for Newsweek, the Huffington Post, Los Angeles Times, Newsday, the New Republic, Wilson Quarterly, Los Angeles Reader, Chicago Reader, and San Francisco Chronicle.

Gibney is represented by ICM and Chelsea Pictures.
