Alek Keshishian

Director Alek Keshishian is best known for his 1991 film MADONNA: TRUTH OR DARE, which debuted at the Cannes Film Festival and was for a period the highest grossing documentary of all time.

With a background in directing music videos (Bobby Brown’s “My Prerogative,” Elton John’s “Sacrifice” and Vanessa William’s “He’s got the Look”), Keshishian was selected by Madonna to helm the feature length documentary about her four-month Blond Ambition Tour. Given complete access to the star’s most intimate moments, he fashioned a controversial yet intelligent film.

His first fiction feature WITH HONOURS followed, starring Joe Pesci as a homeless man who teaches a few Harvard students the meaning of life. Keshishian then moved to London where he directed award winning commercials for brands including Coca Cola, Peugeot, and Max Factor (starring Madonna).

In 2006 he wrote, directed and produced LOVE AND OTHER DISASTERS, starring the late Brittany Murphy, Catherine Tate, and Matthew Rhys. It premiered at the Toronto Film Festival and opened the London Gay and Lesbian Film Festival.
