About Nick:

Nick is a graduate of the MA Scriptwriting programme at Goldsmiths, University London. In 2021 his script Crosshairs won the Hollyshorts Screenwriting Competition and was produced by Hawk Films directed by Coral Amiga. Shot in spring 2022, the film opened the Academy Qualifying Hollyshorts Film Festival in Los Angeles at the TCL Chinese Theatre. Since then it has gone on to play at a host of BAFTA and Academy Qualifying film festivals all over the world.

The youngest of four kids Nick was exposed to classic movies from a young age, that have shaped his taste in movies ever since. Films like Bad Taste, Tremors and Stand By Me had a direct impact on his desire to make films - while Arachnophobia directly led to his arachnophobia.

He has worked in the TV and film industry for the better part of a decade, and during that time he has taken on many different roles. Most recently, Nick produced Bug, co-directed by Coral Amiga + Nicole Hartley, for Hulu’s Bite Size Horror anthology series.

His script Daddy’s Little Girl, to be directed Amiga + Hartley, was recently selected to be part of Frontieres Co-Production Market and Sitges FanPitch
