Hey there! I'm Nick, a filmmaker, dad, and artisanal fruitcake aficionado based in Vancouver, Canada. I'm all about telling stories that bring smiles, tug at heartstrings, and leave you wanting more. My comedic short, Fishing with Baited Breath, and the Leo Award-winning holiday series Keeping Up With the Clauses have put me on the map as a creator who loves mixing laughter with holiday cheer.
My creative journey kicked off with a bang in 2000 when I co-created Circus! The Musical, a wildly funny production that stole the spotlight at the Victoria Fringe Festival. The show was so popular, my team and I brought it back in 2004 as a large-scale production and clinched the Viewer's Choice Award for Overall Creativity & Innovation.
In 2011, I took on a special project, directing the retrospective short Terry Fox for a permanent art installation by Douglas Coupland at Terry Fox Plaza at BC Place. This project was both meaningful and humbling, combining my passion for storytelling with a truly inspiring narrative.
Lately, I've been directing commercials for some of the biggest brands in North America—think Zanga, Article, TELUS, and Save-On-Foods. This has earned me some serious cred with awards like a Hermes, two Stevies, and two silver Dolphins from the Cannes Corporate Media & TV Awards.
In all my work, I pride myself on building genuine relationships and nurturing a collaborative vibe. Whether I'm directing a commercial or crafting a screenplay, I aim for authenticity and creativity in every frame. I'm pumped for what's ahead and can't wait to bring more stories to life!
