About Me:
Alexander Davidis | Create Your Badge


I'm a filmmaker and huge vintage car enthusiast.
I started out as art director in New York and turned from creative director to director.
Below is my very first experimental car racing music vide short that I shot with wind-up Bolex 16mm film camera's at the very first LeMans Classic.



In the nineties I directed commercials and worked around the globe in some 20 odd countries. I also shot music videos. This is one of them:

Since the start of the new millennium I work as a journalist, international consultant for television and as TV director/producer for networks such as the German ZDF TV, the US New York Times TV and the Discovery Network.
As a photographer I naturally specialized in capturing historic racing automobiles.
I just finished shooting "Season II" of the "GT Racer" TV series that will air worldwide as of May this year. In the US on HD Theater (from the Discovery Network) and the rest of the world on DiscoveryHD International.
The HD Theater premier is at 8:00PM Friday night, Labor Day Weekend. Don't miss it.

Go to the GT RACER FILM GROUP on the VRL to see more trailer of the new season.
What do you like to do (e.g. vintage race with...)?
I love to shoot cars. Below is the trailer of the very first episod of my TV-Series GT RACER - On Porto's Street Circuit

...I mean who in thei right mind would race their classic on a street track without ANY run off area - just CONCRETE everywhere....

    By strange coincidence I saw part of your GT Racer video yesterday and have long been a fan of Shaken and Stirred - and I dont watch them JUST to get glimpses of my cars!

    Hi Alexander,

    Thank you for the kind email I hope to have some new pictures to put up soon.

    Do you know if the Oporto Historic Grand Prix will happen this year as I can find no recent reference to it?

    Any information gladly recieved.

    Kind regards

    Kris

  • Christopher Tate

    Hi Alexander
    Thanks for that, yes, Stephen and I have been looking at various ideas
    Now, how is the 2008 film coming along as a finished product? We have just announced - see my website, news section, that we will be at Magny C again mid July 10-12th, and the final version of last years would be a huge help!
    also, if you really can come to Brands in late Mya, great, but we need to fix that with the circuit - keep me posted! all the best C
    Oh and let Kris, below, know, the Oporto thing looks very difficult this year, but in a crowded calendar with so little time for such long diustance trucking, in a hard budget year, it was always going to be so. best C
    and we are now on teh same date at Magny C

    Mar 11, 2009

  • Kris Sukhu

    Hi Alexander,
    Thank you for the information it is really appreciated, as I will now plan to visit a different event. As Christopher initmates Brands would be great or Magny C sound intersting.
    Once again thanks and many kind regards.

    Hi Alexander,
    This is great news about GT Racer II.
    Just to let you know that the same group of friends who saw Shaken & Stirred met up again for a night of food and car talk, this time we viewed the second disc of GT Racer last weekend, we thoroughly enjoyed the experience again. The very social occasion of Lime Rock had us all looking for the maps and the possibility of visiting for the event, I cannot believe ALMS events are held there too, this is awe inspiring. The imagary and festival of the Spa 6 hours was captivating, the Astons shaking their tails had us all breathless (and again looking at our diaries and maps). Laguna Seca we all knew as we have all been there but only on Playstation's Grand Turismo game, we are a very mature group of gamers and car enthusiasts, with a difference spanning 20 years and I am the youngest at just over 40.

    We will have watched the seven films a number of time before the new series comes out on TV or DVD, this I can be sure about, as they are great for stimulating much discussion.
    Kind regards
    Kris

    Thanks for the add and GT Racer looks great. I plan on getting a copy. Are you open to discussing a TV reality show based on one of 3 treatments that I have written? We are looking to get a production deal very soon. All 3 of the treatments are tied into "Car Properties" ... Car Properties can be found on our media site that is advertising based at http://www.CarProperty.com .
