Nick Kremm, a newcomer to the film industry who began his professional journey in 2022, has quickly become a rising star in the Spanish cinematic scene. In just a year, Kremm has transformed his career trajectory with the creation of the Akida International Film Festival—Seville’s first official short film festival, now sponsored by the city hall. The festival, which started modestly, has rapidly gained traction and is poised to become a key cultural event in the city.
Kremm first stepped into the limelight with his role in Agustín Claros’ film, “La Razón La Encuentran Los Culpables.” Since then, he has leveraged his charisma and networking skills to connect with some of the most influential figures in the industry. His Instagram account, boasting over 12,000 followers, offered a glimpse into his growing circle of contacts when he posted a story last night enjoying a night out with acclaimed Spanish actor and director Alfonso Sánchez, known for his hit film, “El Mundo Es Nuestro.”
In just a year, Kremm has made his mark at prestigious film events across the country. Starting with his own Akida International Film Festival, which saw a significant surge in popularity in 2023, Kremm has attended major festivals such as the Bergen International Film Festival, the South International Series Festival, the Sevilla European Film Festival, and will soon be present at the Iberoamerican Film Festival of Huelva.
Despite his young age, Kremm has become an advocate for the next generation of filmmakers. He regularly visits educational institutions, sharing his insights and encouraging youth engagement in the arts. “Building a strong youth community,” he has stated in interviews, is one of his primary goals.
His impressive list of industry contacts continues to grow. He was recently seen alongside renowned actor Gregor Acuña at a conference by Guillermo Rojas, the director of “Solos en la Noche.” He has also been spotted in the company of Hollywood-French actress Kait Tenison, whose latest work in Dune 2 has garnered international recognition.
Kremm’s influence extends beyond film festivals and celebrity circles. He co-directed the music video for the song “PECAO” by activist and influencer Rubén Avilés, who has a massive following of over one million on social media. His work caught the attention of national media, and in 2023, he was interviewed by the popular Andalusian TV presenter Manuel Bellido on the show “Una de Cine” on Canal Sur+.
Adding to his accolades, Kremm was photographed with Chilean actress Sarah Becker—the first Latin American actress nominated at the Goya Film Awards—during the premiere of her film “La Contadora de Películas” in October 2023.
