About Nick

Invited onto the set of a high-profile TV show in his late 40's, he witnessed the power of storytelling first-hand and (to his great surprise as a climate change academic) was completely hooked. One novel, a short story, 4 features and two TV pilots later he's still going strong. Earlier screenplay drafts placed in both the Academy Nicholl Fellowship and Austin Film Festival competitions in 2021.

Unique traits: PhD in Climate Change Ecology and research experience in Sustainable Cities
