Alexander Karmios

Filmmaker Alexander Karmios, half German, half Cypriot and born in Athens - Greece, was introduced early to the film and fashion industry; he was only 16 when he first participated as a model in fashion shows, character role-plays, and in various TV commercials (1997-2003). At the age of 21, while working as a bartender in Mykonos, he was cast as an extra in The Bourne Identity (2002), which was being filmed on the island. The thrill of this major experience and his passion for film, led to him attending New York College to study film (2003), where he met his favorite teachers and renown filmmakers Pantelis Voulgaris and Yorgos Mavropsaridis, a cornerstone to his career. His next major experience was on the film-set of his teacher's movie Brides (2004), which was being filmed during his college studies. Another college perk was him participating in the feature Straight Story (2006). Alongside all that, his experimentation in photography attracted the attention of leaders in the industry, and he found himself working for various fashion magazines, catalogs, ad campaigns, album covers, and portraiture photography for music artists and bands. His repertoire soon expanded with music video clips and a short film that made it into the 61st Cannes Film Festival, Flat (2008). Alexander Karmios works in the film entertainment industry worldwide as a director, cinematographer, and producer, and is in development and production of several feature, music video & TV commercial projects.
