PEOPLE Behind the Scenes with… Christian Kremer Behind the scenes with the man behind the screens… We talk to the founder and managing director of The AIRSCREEN Company Describe your role Well, I run the company, so my responsibilities pretty much cover everything. But I do have great colleagues that keep a lot of details away from me. Or do you mean me as a dad? That’s another story. My kids might tell you something about my role! What is your background? I was born in 1971 and grew up a small town in northern Germany. Two of my uncles were cinema owners. So, there is movie- DNA in my blood I guess. My life changed forever when my uncle met Günter Ganzevoort, the inventor of the world’s first inflatable movie screen at a cinema convention. With this world novelty, we started organising open-air cinema events all around northern Germany. After I finished my university career in Germany and Spain with a master’s in international business studies, we professionalised the company, built around the AIRSCREEN product. Now AIRSCREEN is a world-renowned brand for high quality inflatable movie screens made in Germany. It helped that movie premieres and film festivals used (and use) our products. Will Smith, Robert De Niro, Steven Spielberg, Harrison Ford – so many actors and directors have stood in front of an AIRSCREEN to present their films. Give us an idea of your daily routine I am pretty much like an electron whose position in space is hard to describe. Heisenberg might help. Sometimes in the office building in Münster, working in our warehouse, in the factories, at our clients’ events, with the family in Berlin… Thank God I have a special rail pass that covers all this! Any upcoming exciting projects? Many things! Right now, we are in our peak season and again AIRSCREENS are the ‘must have’ product for this summer. We will employ more people by the end of this year. Great events are coming up like an open-air movie premier on the Montjuic in Barcelona and a friend and AIRSCREEN user in southern France will be setting up a screen in a Roman amphitheatre. I love when architecture and the event match! A customer in Singapore wants to organise the biggest crowd ever for an outdoor movie event with multiple AIRSCREENS and Michael Moore will be screening films on a gigantic AIRSCREEN at the shores of Lake Michigan by the end of July. There is amazing stuff coming up in many parts of the world. What are your main challenges? To keep cool. Work theoretically never ends, we work all around the Earth in over 130 countries. But of course we have many partners who support us with AIRSCREEN rental and sales. Personally, you have to find a balance between work and the other things in life that are valuable like family, time to relax and holidays. If you don’t step back sometimes, I think your body will suffer in the long run. For sure, your family would. I sometimes try to take a longer break to get new inspiration and a different perspective. What always helps is a bicycle WWW.OPENAIRBUSINESS.COM 65
