A Decade of Stories That Matter
Born in Puerto Rico, based between New York City and San Juan — Alejandro De Jesus Miranda is a producer and director with 10+ years of experience building content that lives at the intersection of culture, emotion, and craft. His career spans some of the most respected names in media: Complex Networks, ESPN, Amazon Music, ON Running, the NBA, and independent creative productions on both sides of the Atlantic seaboard.
As Senior Producer at Complex Networks from 2017 to 2025, Alejandro led production on Sneaker Shopping, Full Size Run, What's in the Back?, and a slate of Latin-focused content and live podcast tapings. Before that, early-career work on ESPN's Academy Award–winning O.J.: Made in America gave him a foundational education in premium long-form documentary storytelling.
His approach is end-to-end — from story concept and talent coordination to field production, editorial shaping, and social-first distribution. He's equally comfortable in a broadcast truck, a podcast studio, or in a car with a camera rolling on Bad Bunny.

Pull Up — Bad Bunny
Documentary / Interview Format · Director & Producer
The Project
Rather than placing one of the world's biggest artists across a desk, Pull Up reimagined the celebrity interview as a moving, documentary-style experience. Alejandro directed and produced a format that followed Bad Bunny through environments that felt personal — letting the conversation breathe and the subject reveal himself on his own terms.
The Approach
The format relied on a mobile camera grammar, intimate framing, and a deliberate editorial rhythm. Instead of Q&A, the interview became a film. Topics moved through Puerto Rican identity, the weight of cultural representation, and the relationship between music and memory — all captured with documentary authenticity.
Key Themes
- Documentary storytelling structure
- Mobile, walk-and-talk interview format
- Talent-facing production & trust-building
- Music, identity & Puerto Rican culture
- Intimate, cinematic framing

Director / Producer — concept through delivery
O.J.: Made in America
ESPN 30 for 30 · Production Assistant
An early-career immersion in the highest tier of long-form documentary filmmaking. O.J.: Made in America went on to win the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature — and the experience of being inside that production left a lasting imprint on how Alejandro thinks about story structure, archival research, and the weight of subject matter.
This was the foundation. Everything since has been built on that standard.
NBA Puerto Rico
Local Producer / Fixer · Sports & Cultural Content
Produced Puerto Rico–based basketball storytelling around the NBA's presence on the island, working with players including Joakim Noah and Walter Hodge Jr. Fast-turn field production in dynamic environments, balancing logistical complexity with authentic cultural storytelling. A reminder that the best sports content is always about more than the game.
