His first film "THE DREAM FACTORY" has won 8 awards in Greece and the Golden Award of Fantasy Movies at the Houston Film Festival. His second film "A Touch of Spice", a Greek Turkish co-production, was a labour of love for him since the story is mostly based on true facts drawn from his own life.

The film was Greece's official entry in the Academy Awards of 2005. Tassos Boulmetis is the first president of the Hellenic Film Academy.
