About

Nick is from a small town in south-central Pennsylvania, where he spent most of his childhood in the woods, reading fantasy books, and playing GameCube. His love of stories and writing brought him to journalism, but after producing a short doc about the opioid epidemic in high school, Nick realized that filmmaking made better use of his overactive imagination. Nick believes that surrealist nonfiction filmmaking is one of the most powerful artforms we have to understand the world and connect people with dissimilar backgrounds. He hopes to continue using his art to advocate for progressive values and demonstrate how radical empathy can lift us into the future.
