Film Production, 2022

Hi there, I’m Nick and I will soon be finishing up with my studies in film production and creative writing. I adore watching, discussing and making films, along with other forms of storytelling. Additionally, my studies has given me the opportunity to expand these creative skills into other areas such as advertising and logistical management.

My foremost passion is screenwriting. The meticulous construction of a plot, world and the development of characters is what draws me in. Along with screenwriting, I have experience in developing prose, poetry, analytical essays and production reports.

Having enjoyed the logistical side of filmmaking, I have also specialised as a 1st Assistant Director during my time at UC. Partly due perhaps to my experience in the APS, I find the task of managing film sets to come naturally, and though while not always easy, I find the experience rewarding every time.

Below are some of the recent films I have worked on as a 1st AD, along with the first act of a feature length screenplay that I am currently writing, titled ‘Kill The Khan.’
