Nick Virk (they/them) is a filmmaker, producer and writer.

Nick is a freelance filmmaker. They are skilled as a director, writer, producer and editor and have a keen interest in storytelling that platforms marginalised identities. ‘Where We Came From’, their latest short film starring Archie Panjabi, examines internalised racism in British South Asian politicians. It had its world premiere at the Oscar-qualifying Tasveer Film Festival in 2024. Their lived experience as a queer non-binary Brown person has informed much of their work. Their previous short film ‘Temple’ about a queer South Asian friendship went onto achieve acclaim at film festivals worldwide, including official selection at the UK Asian Film Festival, Kashish Mumbai International Queer Festival and Short to the Point. For the same, Nick won Best Director at the London Indie Short Festival and ‘Temple’ was nominated at both the British Short Film Awards and Independent Shorts Awards. 

Nick has directed documentaries, including the recent Queer & Menopausal’, as well as working on several commercials. Their recent clients include Tate Galleries, Barbican, Condé Nast, Hilton Hotels and Benefit Cosmetics. Much of their storytelling and aesthetics are influenced by arthouse Hindi cinema and hopes to spearhead the globalisation of Bollywood cinema.
