Wisconsin-born, Brooklyn-bred artist Nicholas Bentgen prides himself on creating stunningly experiential, lived-in worlds. With roots in photography, music videos, ads, documentary, screenwriting and acting, he has developed a deep understanding of how to ignite an image. Comfortable operating a camera or performing in front of one, Nicholas’ ability to create an atmosphere of collaboration and intimacy is second nature.

He is an award-winning director, writer, actor, photographer and proud father. His filmmaking has been highlighted by The New York Times, Visions du Reel, Vimeo, and the UKMVAs, among others. From comedic trifles to emotional youth portraits to sumptuous documentaries, Nicholas’ work is wide-ranging, but it’s his enthusiasm for life and his belief in our collective power to create that will stick with you.
