Nick conceives, directs and edits across all multimedia platforms, whilst still maintaining a strong tie to traditional film-making via commercials, music videos, short dramas and documentaries.
Most recently based at the digital agency Deepend, Nick has been directing since 2004 following stints in production houses editing for some of Sydney's finest directors at companies such as Manifesto Films, Massive Interactive, New Film Media & his own company BANGBANG Films.
In conjunction with some of Australia's premiere ad agencies, Nick has worked across several large multimedia campaigns for the likes of Unilever, Universal Music, Sony, McDonalds, Cathay Pacific, Mitsubishi and LG; and was also recently awarded an Australian Director's Guild award for Best Direction With New Media Platforms for a Unilever/Continental online campaign (beating out an international Emmy nominated campaign in the process).
He is currently developing his first feature film, through the assistance of Screen NSW.
