Nick is an award-winning writer, director and producer. His film, “The Shovel,” won Best Narrative Short at Tribeca and awards at more than 15 other festivals, and he executive-produced the SXSW-winning feature documentary, “High Score,” now in development as a narrative film. He helped lead the transmedia project, “Pandemic 1.0”, at Sundance, and rejoined Lance Weiler in Park City in 2018 to premiere the immersive experience, Frankenstein AI, for the bicentennial of Shelley’s novel. Their most recent project, Where There’s Smoke, was premiered at the 2019 Tribeca Film Festival and singled out by Indiewire as “one of the best offerings – it lets you walk inside the frame and experience a story from the inside out.” In the world of advertising, Nick has held top creative leadership positions within WPP, Omnicom and IPG, where he crafted senior, innovative roles to radically change the landscape across all three major marketing silos — creativity, communications and media.
