Biography

Nick Kremm (real name: Nikos Kremmydas) was born in Athens, Greece, and lived there until he and his family moved to Seville, Spain, in 2019. In Greece, Nick studied violin for 7 years and has been a musician since then, playing the saxophone and piano, as he also studied music at the Alimos School of Music and participated in various bands, such as the Tomares Symphony Band, from 2020 to 2022. In Athens, he trained in acting from a young age with some of the most important Greek theater directors, such as Aristea Kondrafouri. In Spain, he began studying economics at Yago School, one of the top 100 schools in Spain according to Forbes magazine. In 2020, Nick began to get involved in the audiovisual world, creating and publishing short videos with his brothers, when he had the opportunity to make his first serious short film, "Destino," produced by Fran Expósito, who would later collaborate on many projects with Nick. "Destino" was selected at the Oregon Sci-Fi Film Festival and later became a semifinalist at the Pavlos Paraschakis Short Film Festival in Athens, Greece. In 2022, he met Dimitris Pontikakis, with whom he decided to write and produce his greatest success to date, "The Mask of Janus," which took over a year to produce and had a grand premiere at Avenida 5 Cines in Seville on September 6, 2023. But the journey of this film didn't end there, as it was later distributed on Prime Video in the US and the UK. In 2022, Nick moved to Bergen, Norway, to study media and television production at Amalie Skram VGS, the best school in the state of Bergen. There, he obtained some of the greatest opportunities, working with the country's top professionals on films like "A Stylish Shirt" (as director of photography) and "Power Bank" (as the lead actor), directed by Los Angeles director Hanne Andersen. "Power Bank" premiered at the Bergen International Film Festival and was nominated as the best film in western Norway. In May-June 2023, Nick Kremm had the opportunity to produce his last film as an actor in Norway with the best youth production company (Rett Vest Film), according to many Norwegian magazines, a film called "The Road Not Taken" (as the lead actor), written by William Myrmellom and directed by Isabel Nielsen. While in Norway, Nick Kremm was closely involved with the West Norwegian Film Centre and also produced a film podcast on Spotify with their sponsorship. He was also part of the Amalie Skram Revyen band, one of Bergen's most important events each year, playing the saxophone. Going back, in 2022, Nick founded Akida Corporation, a youth media company with his friend and colleague Dimitris Pontikakis, which later became the Akida International Film Festival. At only 16 years old, Nick, with the financial support of his parents, made the festival official, sponsored by Unión Cine Ciudad. In 2023, Nick Kremm returned to Seville and began his final year of high school at the Sevilla School of Art in the Chile Pavilion. During this period, he mainly participated in productions such as music videos ("El Pecao," by Rubén Avilés), ("X Tonterías," by Daniel Doncia) and feature films like "Ahmar, Siempre Quedarán Cenizas," directed by Raúl Márquez, Águeda Crespo, and Lucas Naranjo.
