Biography
Sirinakis was born in Palaio Faliro, Athens on October 18, 1974. He served his military service as a member of the Special Forces. In 2000, he founded Sirina Entertainment, the first Greek erotic films production company with an international appeal.
Career and Sirina Entertainment
With the completion of his military service, Dimitris Sirinakis studied business management in Washington University and upon its graduation, he worked for a multinational company. In 2000, he began his career in the sensual films industry, as an exclusive distributor of international erotic films in Greece (e.g. Hustler, Marc Dorcel, Harmony etc.) In 2007 he started directing and producing his own erotic films, where one may enjoy the performance of Greek models.
Dimitris Sirinakis is said to be the only professional erotic films producer in Greece, while Sirina Enterntainment productions have met with great success in the Greek market.
In 2010, his infamous cooperation with actress/model Julia Alexandratou and the release of her sex DVD “Banned”, marked a peak time in Sirina Enterntainment producer's career. The tumult brought by the release of the DVD surpassed Greek borders, while top media channels reported extensively on the subject. The aftereffects of the release of Julia Alexandratou's sex tape were quite impressive, as foreign media even talked about an effort of manipulating public opinion, due to the fact that the release occurred at the same time as the IMF bailout program for Greece. Meanwhile, numerous Greek TV shows and features dealt with the issue for months.
Although initially Julia Alexandratou argued that the DVD content was about personal footage that was leaked by one of her exes, after 13 days Julia Alexandratou finally admitted the whole truth in Tatiana Stefanidou's TV show. She confessed that everything was legally agreed between both parties; she signed a contract with the production company that was submitted to the revenue office, she was properly paid and the relevant invoice was issued.
In any case, the success of the Julia Alexandratou film was used as an excuse for questioning Greek showbiz taboos, regarding sensual productions. Soon after that, more big names, such as Marianna Douvli, Voula Vavatsi and Christina Rousaki, followed Julia's lead.
The scandalous style, which is typical in Dimitrinis Sirinakis productions, involves the participation of renown showbiz names and the use of fairly provocative sets, as well as his ability of taking advantage of publicity. All the above contributed equally in the promotion of Sirina Enterntainment in Greece and abroad.
