In the past three years has Alki set up an independent Rock label, which he distributes through Universal Music UK. He has also partnered with Matt Rhodes and Judd Payne in hot Hollywood indie shingle Persistent Pictures. His love for Film and Television has not dwindled. Most recently in 2004 Alki acted in a starring role for TNT's hit mini-series, The Grid. Alki's love for the style of Italian Cinema, led him to write produce direct and star in the much acclaimed, Greek co-production The Freediver. When you meet Alki you will find a calm self-assured pinnacle of strength. Beneath that calm exterior is an incredibly creative and dynamic personality to whom most are instantly, drawn to. In 2006, Alki launched 111 Pictures Ltd is a UK-based independent production and international sales company. A partnership between filmmaker, actor and business tycoon Alki David and veteran film producer Elliott Kastner.
