Nico

I’m a writer and director. I’ve spent the last several years making films, a number of which have gone on to win awards on the festival circuit.

For the past two years I’ve worked almost entirely in Unreal Engine, building animated films with the same tools and the same attention I’d bring to live action. The technology changed; the priorities didn’t.

I take my influences seriously, I study the filmmakers I admire closely but I’ve never been interested in imitation. What I’m looking for is the thing that comes after the influence: my own way of framing a scene, my own sense of when to cut and when to stay. I’d like to think it’s starting to look like a style.

I direct my voice talent closely and I care a great deal about performance. If we work together, you’ll get a real session, real direction, and a film that takes what you do seriously.
