happy to see you HERE.
I am an actor, writer-director, and painter–it all comes from the same place. My sensitivity to people and my passion to understand human complexity is what shapes my scope and inspires the patience to make careful sense of it through art.
Most of what is featured on this site is my work as a filmmaker. I don’t approach the medium as storytelling, instead, I'm grabbing your hand and taking you on a ride you weren’t sure you could handle on your own, so we do it together. My visual style is hyperrealistic, almost to a place of ironic unbelievability. It is symphonic, energetic, profound, and self-aware, with my zoomed-out sense of humor about the Universe. The films are immersive experiences, in the seats of fresh perspectives. It’s through my lens of course—my characters are extensions of myself, transforming and learning as I do, facing sizable internal shifts while everything else is falling apart around us. The specificity that I bring forward, uncovers our commonalities and makes it relatable and cathartic.
I did NOT use Ai to tell you about myself. If you’re still questioning, you’ll just have to meet me in person. Let’s start having fun,
Nicole Grace Eckenroad
