Nikolaos Kremmydas (born February 25, 2006), known professionally as Nick Kremm, is a Greek filmmaker, actor, musician and entrepreneur known for creating and being the CEO of the Seville International Short Film Festival.
Early life and education Nikos Kremmydas was born in Athens, Greece. As a kid he showed an interest in music, playing the violin since he was 6 and at 12 he gave it up to change to saxophone. He moved with his family to Seville, Spain in 2019 where he expanded his artistic routes into painting and specially filmmaking, where he made several short films with his family and friends. Between 2022 and 2024, he attended four different schools, including a period in 2022 where he lived in Bergen, Norway as an exchange student.
Career
In 2022, he started working with Spanish independent filmmaker Agustín Claros, co-producing and creating posters for some short films and was also a camera assistant on his feature-length film The Reason Found by the Guilty Ones where he also made a cameo.
In that year, he met Dimitris Pontikakis Batana with whom he founded Akida Corporation, a youth media company, which later became the Akida International Film Festival by the next year. At just 16 years old, Nick, with financial support from his parents, formalized the festival, sponsored by Unión Cine Ciudad. The first edition of Akida took place from September 2 to 9, 2023, at Avenida 5 Cines and Multicines Metromar, marking a success for the first edition.
In that year they made a short film titled "Janu's Mask", it was written by Pontikakis and directed and produced by Kreem and premiered on September 6, 2023, at the 1st Akida International Film Festival, out of competition. A month later of its premiere, it was digitally released for rent on Amazon Prime Video in the US and UK.
During his stay as an exchange student in Norway, he was cinematographer on the cancelled short film "A Stylish Shirt" or starring as a lead actor in "Power Bank" and "The Road Not Taken", later retitled "Crossroad" both of them were selected for the Bergen International Film Festival on the 2023 and 2024 editions respectively.
While in Norway, he 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.
Since 2024 he has expanded himself into working on music videos, being the cinematographer on videos produced by La Cantera Crew and the assistant director for "EL PECAO" by activist and influencer Rubén Avilés.
Personal life and ideology
He frequently visits educational institutions to share his expertise and promote youth involvement in the arts. He has emphasized in interviews that one of his main goals is “building a strong youth community”.
He has been in a relationship with Neveen Hisham since August 2023, making it public at the award ceremony at the 2nd Akida International Film Festival by September 2024.
