Read all about the world record beating People's Premiere here.

Normal film premieres are glitzy and exclusive, with nobody invited except VIPs - but the People's Premiere is different: VIPs, IPs and plain old Ps are all welcome to the world's first INclusive film launch. Featuring synchronised screenings at a staggering 60 different cinemas across the nation. With a solar-powered cinema tent pitched in London's Leicester Square, the People's Premiere is also the planet's first truly green film premiere - no greenwash allowed.

Adam Dyster

Adam has always had a passion for animals and the environment. His work as the DEFRA Climate Change Champion took him to Amsterdam to see the local and national efforts to tackle climate change there. This included visiting a carbon neutral, self sufficient houseboat, the Q8 Offshore Wind Farm (where he was interviewed for Dutch Newsround), meeting the British Ambassador to the Netherlands and the Dutch Minister for European affairs.

On his return he spoke to primary schools, Sustainability East, Lowestoft Energy Challenge, Imperial College, Cut Your Carbon and Creative Partnerships about his experience. He also persuaded Emma Thompson to paint her feet for youth environment forum Footprintfriends and received a letter from Al Gore. He started work on a school's eco-garden with fruit and veg and organised work experience at Friends of the Earth.

In his free time he does ballroom and latin dance, amateur dramatics, rugby, rock-climbing and creative writing. He is also a normal 15 yr old tackling his first year of GCSEs!
