Hi, I’m Niki
I’m a Cardiff-based writer & director and actor.
I make films about hungry-for-life outcasts determined to make it in a world not made for them.
I do not make statements with my work. I ask questions.
CURRENT PROJECTS
- Short father-daughter drama, “Runaway“, in pre-production. Filming in February 2026.
- Short drama / horror “Starved“, in development. Filming in autumn 2026.
I’m slowly re-entering the world of film after an extended period away from the industry.
In the autumn of 2024 I was lucky enough to have a project shortlisted for Ffilm Cymru’s Beacons: Short Film Funding scheme (as writer & director, produced by Matt Ashwell from Coup the Duke) and I’ve been consistently developing ideas and growing my network since.
If I’m not working on a creative project you’ll probably find me on some sort of a crazy trail run, covered in mud, giggling like a lunatic…
