Christian has over 20 years of industry experience both in television and film having worked in most departments over the years concentrating on production, from editing to producing. As a founder of Global Environment Media his work focuses on environmental issues.
Dedicated father, husband and businessman, we managed to find some time during Christian’s busy schedule to learn more about the inspiration behind the initiatives and the development of GEM.
What was the driving force and initiative behind your decision to set-up Global Environment Media?
About three years ago it became apparent that when looking into information available online and offline there was such an abundance of conflicting information and unsubstantiated information. It was at this point we all recognised that our environment is a monumental concern to all of us and we could actually do something about it through media. This is when we decided to consolidate and unite as many foundations institutes and NGOs as possible and bring their information into a hub and use a mixed media architecture to deliver the information for easy digestion.
How is the GEMA Foundation related to GEM?
Global Environment Movement Association was created to help in the production and diffusion of information and content in support of all our partners. The GEM platform is one of the diffusion outlets of which the production content created could be diffused and digested by all our subscribers and viewers. As a TV channel GEM will be diffused globally over all platforms to have the largest coverage area.
How can locals and businesses in the Monaco / French Riviera region and across Europe help the growth and development of GEM?
GEM is run as a media platform and as such we partner with companies that are environmental in their approach and have sustainability as a focus moving forward. They show their support by having a presence on our platform and channel and in turn we are able to show their good efforts in moving forward responsibly.
What are the challenges you face in charitable funding for the GEMA Foundation and how are you dealing with that?
Due to recent world events raising money and attention for environment is key but yet as a media company we have had a blow due to the tightening of budget this year. Raising donations for GEMA has been challenging and I believe the tides are turning as we come out of this pandemic. Word of mouth media and social media play a big role in obtaining donations.
Lastly, your father was an avid supporter of numerous charities and foundations, in which sector was he mostly connected with and why?
My father was an advocate for children and as ambassador for UNICEF he spent the better part of 25 years raising awareness and monies for such charities. It was through him that I developed a strong desire and need to be socially responsible in all my actions and businesses. There is nothing more noble then advocating for those who cannot for themselves. From children to animals to our environment as a whole - if you are able to To do something to help and you must.
