Nick graduated with a degree in Film and Television in 2000 from the University of Westminster where he was mentored by screenwriter Tony Grisoni.

He decided to make the most of his qualification by working as a rickshaw rider in Soho for the next two years before moving back into the media world as a development researcher and script editor for fact based dramas including the BAFTA nominated MYSTERIOUS CREATURES starring Brenda Blethyn and Timothy Spall.

Nick’s two short docs – BARRY COX: THE CHINESE DREAM and THE MONSTERS OF MIAMI – are his directorial debuts and have aired on Al Gore’s network Current TV, The Institute of Contemporary Arts, the Rushes Soho Short Film Festival and the Miami Short Film Festival.

He recently completed RUDELY INTERRUPTED about a disabled rock band from Melbourne, his third doc for Current TV. THE MONSTERS OF MIAMI is presently in development as a longer piece for UK broadcasters and feature film financiers after being accepted for a pitching forum at this years Sheffield International Documentary Festival.

He'll be profiled in the men's magazine Arena in December 2008 in a piece entitled THE NEW GUERILLA FILM MAKERS.

Nick currently has a slate of long form docs in development with UK production companies and has been commissioned by Current TV for two more shorts. He is also in talks with Spike Jonze's online channel VBS.TV to produce content for them.

In addition to moving forward as a documentary director, in 2009 he also aims to direct his first fictional short and is developing a feature length black comedy.
