David Alexanian (born December 10, 1967) is an American director and producer.

Career

In 2004, Alexanian directed and produced Long Way Round, which followed Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman on a 20,000-mile (32,000-kilometre) motorcycle journey from London to New York, through Europe, Kazakhstan, Mongolia, Siberia, far eastern Russia and North America.[1]

In 2009 Alexanian produced The Way with Emilio Estevez[2][3] Estevez and Alexanian assembled an independent film crew and a small group of actors to travel across the north of Spain along The Camino de Santiago. The film starred Martin Sheen, Deborah Kara Unger, James Nesbitt and Yorick Van Wageningen as misfits who find each other and themselves during their trek together along the ancient Spanish route called El Camino or The Way of Saint James. The film went on to premiere at the Toronto Film Festival in 2010 and was released in 2011.[4]

In 2021 the TV series Long Way Up was nominated for the Outstanding Travel, Adventure and Nature Program Emmy award.[5]
