Nikki (Nikila) Cole of Moving Visions Productions was born to be a writer/producer/director. The daughter of jazz drummer dad, Sidney K. Cole and mom dancer, Clara, there was nothing she enjoyed more than constantly dancing around the house, listening to music, going to the movies or the theatre (performing as a child actor), absorbing music, scenes and stories like a sponge. Growing up, Nikki worked hard to turn her passion into a successful international career as a dancer and choreographer in London and New York. After an acclaimed career, she studied film at the NYU School of Continuing Ed, winning their Best Film award on graduation and being called "a filmmaker to watch!" Her many awards include Academy Award Consideration for her feature documentary RAY OF HOPE (16 international festival awards), Audience Vote for Best Documentary at Palm Springs for INTIMACIES, Best Pilot Screenplay at Oaxaca for SERPENT QUEEN, and the Golden Elephant Trophy at Bangkok for CATHERINE IN LOVE.

After years of writing/producing/directing/show running over 15 TV series including TESSA & SCOTT, ICE ROAD TRUCKERS, and KEEPING CANADA ALIVE, Nikki expanded into narrative projects, like the award-winning MY FATHER, JOE. She is currently in production development on OPHELIA, an international feature co-production based on the true story of HIV advocate Ophelia Haanyama Orum, with Ray Sager attached as Executive Producer and Virginie Lacombe as French co-producer. Alongside OPHELIA, she is developing the narrative short DELAYED, the documentary series BLEEP ME! (winner, c21 Content Canada Co-Pro Pitch Competition), and the feature SOVEREIGN CHILD (CMF/CICLIC co-development funding)
