Producer and Director (And Tropfest 2014 Winner)
Her dedication to becoming a Producer has driven
her to be involved in producing many low budget short films. The
most recent 'Help' just won best film, best actor and the audience
award at Tropfest. She embarked on her ambitious first feature at
23, "The Richmond Family Massacre" with director Lance McMinn, a
film for which she learnt to operate a camera. Her most recent
completed feature, "Crackheads" had its world Premiere at the
Oaxaca FilmFest in Mexico and US Premiere at the Austin Film
Festival in October. Since then it has won awards at the LA Comedy
Festival and a New Zealand Film Award for 'Best Self Funded
Feature'. It also enjoyed a short but successful alternative
theatrical run at the Maidment Theatre. Her next feature film 'Sex
With an Alien' is currently in development.
Complementing her film work Nicola recently

University. To assist in developing her worldwide sales and
marketing she attended the American Film Market for the third time
in 2013 and was part of their newly created Producers Forum.
"Film has always been the driving force behind
everything I do. I'll go to the grave with a film camera in my
hand, and you can be sure my funeral will be on time and under
budget!"
