Nikita “Nick” Marchuk is an independent filmmaker and creative director originally from Minsk, Belarus. After immigrating to Northern California at age eight, he found storytelling through film as a way to translate change, displacement, and human emotion into something visual and lasting.

His work bridges grounded realism with a fascination for what’s next—where film, technology, and experience design begin to overlap. Drawing from both traditional craft and modern tools, he explores how stories can move beyond the screen while staying deeply human at their core.

Known for his award-winning short films Premonition and Robbery Intermission, Nick continues to write and direct original work while collaborating on select creative projects that challenge convention and expand what cinematic storytelling can be.

Whether behind the camera or building what comes after it, his goal remains the same: to create work that challenges perception, connects people to truth, and moves the artform forward.
