About me
Nick Sakai ventured into production after meeting award winning filmmaker Anya Meksin when he had acted in her short film Couch.Knowledge he gained on the set of various productions gave him a good basis for collaborating with Anya on her next short film, The Professor, which starred Betsy Brandt (Breaking Bad) and Rick Peters (Dexter), an action thriller inspired by Occupy Wall Street. Nick served as Associate Producer on the film, which won the CINE Golden Eagle Award and Best Action/Adventure Film at Comic-con in 2014
Other producing credits include Going Home (co-producer), a short film which explored the effects of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder on former soldiers, “12”, a parody short of “24” and “The Office”, which premiered also at San Diego Comic-Con 2012, and has just completed Ms. Kiss, a project he acted in, produced and directed. This film is currently in preparation for the festival circuit.
His most recent gig as a coordinator for AGRtist Monthly 72Hour Short Film Challenge gave him an extensive network to all areas of crews to assist over 10 filmmakers monthly in terms of staffing.
