An Interest in Film
Theo Kalomirakis was born and raised in Athens, Greece. He studied film making at the Athens Film School and directed his first short feature with a grant from the Fulbright Foundation. The film and consecutive ones he made won a number of prizes in international film festivals and secured for Theo a scholarship at New York University. Theo graduated from NYU with a Masters' Degree in Film and Television, but decided not to pursue the career of a filmmaker. Instead he became an acclaimed art director first for Time Warner and later on for Forbes Inc.

Emergence of Home Theater
After designing and building a private theater, The Roxy, in his own residence which was published in the New York Times and USA Today, Theo started receiving requests from enthusiasts for their own private theaters. He realized that this could be the beginning of a new era of home entertainment. In 1989, Theo launched his own company designing private theaters for affluent individuals around the world. Today, Theo is recognized internationally as “the father of Home Theater” in the industry that he helped inspire and define with his award-winning private entertainment environments.
