Filmmaker Alexander Davidis has directed commercials for international advertising agencies and documentaries about historic race cars. Then he had an experience with a psychopath, and now wants to help tell the world that these predators live among us.
Davidis already started by interviewing some of the world’s leading researchers on psychopathy. To complete the project, he’s listed it on Kickstarter, which is the world’s largest funding platform for creative projects. He wants to raise at least $60,000.
Kickstarter is interesting. Anyone can be a backer, pledging as little as $1 on a credit card. In order for the money to be collected, the project must reach its entire goal by the deadline. If the project doesn’t reach the entire goal in pledges, none of the money is collected. In other words, the backers’ credit cards are only charged if enough money is raised for the project to go forward.
So, check out the trailer that Alexander Davidis has produced for the film. If you believe the project is important, you can become a backer.
Psychopathy—and why you need to know, on KickStarter.com.
Since Alexander Davidis FB page offers no comments……
I’m going to ask them here……
Because inquiring minds want to know.
Firstly, what is your real – birth given name?
When/where did you decide to go by Alexander Davidis? Stage name possibly?
How much money in TOTAL has been raised…..INCLUDING additional backers…..not posted on the site.
Who discloses the additional backers funding amounts and why is this not ‘open’ or added to the donation webpage?
What happens when/if you raise 60K on the kickstarter page, but have additional funding from ‘other’ sources?
WHY is Mr. Davidis’s FB page not accepting posts?
(my Bus spath operates the same way!)….one way information w/ no feedback allowed. You’d think that someone with over 1600 friends would be interested in the invaluable feedback his ‘friends’ could offer.
WHY has Mr. Davidis’s profile changed on various sites? Affiliations and projects……They seem to morph to fit current projects.
What project is/was Mr Davidis working on that he found it prudent to study extra terrestrials…….
He seems to be ‘all over the board’ with his interests.
What is Mr. Davidis’s main source of income…..you know….the money he lives off of to eat/drink and be merry….oh, and travel.
What is Mr. Davidis’s experience with a spath……PERSONALLY?
What creative influence/experience did he have in his MTV days……
What acting ‘gigs’ has he participated in? Anything professional?
How does one go from Music Videos to Cars to UFO’s to SPATHS? Just curious about what lead him in these varied directions.
How did Mr. Davidis make contact with all the ‘experts’ in the Spath field. What was the draw…..his ‘story’? What is the story?
Why the ‘sensationalized grabs’ in the Kickstarter page of his…….to me…… cheesy! If someone wants to ‘donate’….they want to donate…..why get a ‘freebie’. I ‘get’ the big funders want acknowlegment…….
It’s like going to a charity function for starving kids and paying #250 a head…….but the dinner costs are costing the charity $200. Don’t we want to just ‘believe’ in the product being sold?
Why all the skimming applogies for being ‘late’ on other projects?
Why are we talking about a pipe dream of a potential TV series……when we dont know if the documentary will be successful? Is this the ‘hook’ for donators?
Who are his demographics as far as donators on other projects. You know…..’who’s’ donating to him?
Why has Mr Davidis not come back to LF to answer the valid Questions himself, since the first time?
Why does Mr Davidis not ‘appear’ most appreciative on his posts via FB when he tally’s up the money raised ‘today’…..he doesn’t seem genuinly appreciative….only makes statements with smiley faces…..and NOT rolling smiley faces! 🙄 it seems like it’s scripted, but he does seem to stick to the script!
I’d sure like answers.
In my experience, when the tough questions come…..with no answers addressed from the SOURCE……it’s called dancing…..
I don’t dance…….
I dig……and it only provokes me to dig deeper……and then ask more.
Anyone who’s been taken by a spathological experience will certainly be able to appreciate my approach…..
🙄 😆
Totally with you EB
You gave excellent points and it is easy for a spath to create an identity and own up to it without saying much.
How did Mrs Grimm know that we were viewing and talking about her site.
Does she read LF daily?
Why now appear?
And the PRIZES for donating–felt like I was at school.
Never noticed the red before-but it is strange.
And filmguy. Why not his full name?
Anyone can create a website.
Who better to target than victims for $?
My ex H P could do this. Always said if everyone donated a £1 to him he would be rich.
What are we always told. Never ever give your bank details to anyone on the web unless you are absolutley certain.
And as you said EB-where is the personal angle. I am four years out and still suffering from the effects of PTSD. Where is his personal WOUNDING.
What are spaths about –THE CON.
EB–WHY has Mr. Davidis’s profile changed on various sites? Affiliations and projects—They seem to morph to fit current projects. MASKS?
Bit confused–Why does portrait start out backing Duvadis then ends with talking about having her or his own show. What did I miss?
Is it just me or is anyone else having trouble getting into Mrs Grimm’s blog. My PC is quite old-but I got into it yesterday.

The donation is done via Amazon not directly to him.
As for Mrs Grimm’s blog, having no issue visiting it. I guess there are many people lurking here without necessary commenting. BTW, Deborah Harvey is not Mrs. Grimm. This is Deborah’s blog: http://deborahharvey.blogspot.com/
names are red, when they are not only names, but also hyperlinks to a blog or website.
Hi
Got in now. Think it’s my PC. Needs memory,

LittleWhiteHorse,
Portrait is the blogger who set up a facebook page for portrait of a killer. That facebook page links to several other blogs about spaths and in that way creates awareness and links to more information.
I clicked on Portraits name and followed to the facebook site, then I saw Mrs. Grimms links and posted a link to her site because I thought it was very well written.
Most websites use google analytics to measure traffic and to see where the traffic is coming from. I do this for my BF’s website, so that’s why I know it’s possible. Mrs. Grimm probably noticed all the traffic coming from LF and came to say hi. It’s possible Deborah IS mrs grimm and she has more than one blogspot to reflect her varied interests.
That said, it does behoove us to be alert and careful about who we trust. On the other hand, we also need to be careful about sabotaging people who have something valuable to contribute.
I guess it boils down to our definition of valuable. I don’t think more sensationalism about spaths and why they are so scary is really needed except as an attention grabbing device.
What is needed is education and research as to how we can recognize them and not get suckered by them. That includes both in our personal as well as our public lives.
Hi Skylar
Thanks for clarifying. I just have my detective head on at all times it seems.
I don’t ever want to sabotage any projects concerning this–I personally didn’t gel with it. Perhaps a bit paranoid.
I agree–domestic abuse and psychopaths are mainly my interest–but pre psychopath I was interested in their positions in big business.
I have changed dramatically due to my experience.
I read Mrs grimm’s this morning and it made me cry as I could see myself in her experience. Thanks for posting as I needed a cry. Emotions are starting to come back and I welcome them. I used to rely on my emotions and intuition heavily pre spath and I am not a good thinker with the head.
Rational not logical.
Thanks again.

This person may very well be ‘for real’…….
And I hope that he is……
A project such as this…..presented correctly would be fabulous….
I’ve learned NOT to follow the masses……and to read between the lines and determine for myself ‘what’ through various means…..what is real. look at motives and approach and ask questions until I am satisfied.
I have questions, my questions have not been answered…..the more I look, the more I question……that is how I OPEREATE.
Due diligence is prudent.
When you put yourself ‘out there’…….you need be open to questions/answer periods. Mr. Davidis is certainly open to the pats on the back……how about the questions?
If you can gain funding easily by just writing a blurb about yourself…..and people simply believing you and antying up……WHY would you answer some simple questions.
Why the responses ‘around’ this person…..but NOT directly FROM this person?
Are my questions TOO HARD?
This guy doesn’t have a clue what I was contemplating donating…….or procuring for this project from others. But I won’t jump in blind.
Would you purchase a house I am selling if I only posted a net video, but I wrote about the neighbors were cool and the house was fantastic….on the web, but you couldn’t get how many bedrooms, when it was built, no inspections allowed (trust me nothings wrong) or how big the lot is or what view does it have,, what the current appraisal is……answered……Some of it’s public information….and you can dig it up yourself….but some of it’s not.
Just buy it…..I’ll throw in the toilet paper. And btw… ya better hurry, you’ve only got 30 days….and others are interested…..just ante up…..don’t bother me with questions.
I still have questions……..
Welcome Deborah, Thanks for clarifying who you are and your blogs. GREAT BTW!!!
Blogging is healing, not only for you, but for those who read your stories. The notion that we are NOT ALONE in what experience we have been through, and that there is a common thread among us all in the trauma as well as the paths on healing.
Again, welcome and VERY GLAD to have you here! Joyce (AKA Oxy)
Dear Deborah
( my lovely daughters name) I don’t know why I twigged it was you even though you had a different blogg page.
After reading your blogg today I started crying–have kept them out for a long time. Had to put the front for the sake of the kids.
I was 20 and got him out at 46–I am now 50. Your marriage was mine for 15 years and I left him–got a house for me and the kids–he got counselling–I took him back and for 6 years he turned into the man of my dreams.
I should have known better. He attacked me out of the blue and became the most-worse than before–cruel. and sadistic man. I nearly died.
I am so so sorry for doubting you. Bit triggered just–have PTSD.
But I am totally on the same page as EB. She just says it better. A project such as this asking for money should be wide open to scrutiny.
I am not comparing our stories–it’s just that what you went through was practically identical. even the description of yourself for the first 15 years of my marriage.
Idealistic–yep that was me. Slow death the first 15 years with him. Fast death the last year. Nearly killed me.
Take care–and keep writing–you are great and bring hope.
