Stemming from a producing background, Nick is a very self-motivated Director, with a passion for diving deep into story structure. His focus is discovering the raw elements of personal stories and finding ways to pull those emotions from story, to screen, to viewer. Often these stories deal with subjects of identity, family, personal growth and healing. His ability to find positive aspects in every person and situation is transparent in his style. He always finds a way to connect with any actor or real person, even in complex situations. Every story Nick touches brings honest human emotions to light in a cinematic presentation. When done properly, these stories provide an emotional journey that can help people through their own struggles. Fun Fact: Nick also turns into a little kid around any dog he meets.Eightfold - FounderEightfold is a collective of filmmakers and artists, co-creating to capture and captivate the human element with every piece of work. our collaborative workflow allows us to bring life to concepts of diverse budgets, styles, and timelines. our modern production process and culture of togetherness allows us to explore ideas greater than those we could take on as separate parts.--At the core of all Nick has done with his business, studio and film, his true passion is directing.
