Nicolas Wendl
- Director
- Producer
- Editor
Born in Munich, Germany and raised in the South of France, Nicolas
Wendl discovered film early, two of his teenage-made shorts screening
at various Festivals. This early recognition
encouraged Wendl to pursue film in the United States at Chapman
University's Dodge College, from which he graduated with Honors and a
BFA in Film Production. During his time at university, Wendl produced
two acclaimed shorts, "How They Smiled" (2011) and "From the Woods"
(2013), both starring Richard Burgi and screening at festivals
across the country and winning the Coney Island Film Festival and the
Cape Fear International Film Festival.
Since graduating, Nicolas has directed projects for Amazon, Hulu, and international short form series. In 2023 he helmed the indie horror film "Stupid Games" which he also produced.
Wendl's work reflects a desire to uncover the deeply nuanced decision-making processes of seemingly everyday people. His films capture a reality-driven investigation into the human mind, held in balance by carefully measured tension and immaculate timing.
The trilingual director lives in Los Angeles, where he focuses on directing narrative films, music videos and commercials, and developing some original series and films.
