I’m Nicole, a neurodivergent film and television director drawn to bold, distinct storytelling. My work has been recognised internationally. My short film WanderLand was longlisted for the 2023 BAFTA Short Film, and I’m currently developing it into my debut feature, Like Mother, with Mordecai Films, led by BIFA Springboard producer Margot Douglas.

I’m currently developing the high-concept folk horror Progeny as a feature with Disauthority, and The Fawn with Curiosity Junction. Through the DirectorsUK Inspire Scheme (2024–2025), I was mentored by Jim Loach and shadowed him on Sky Drama’s Lockerbie: A Search for Truth. I am also currently being mentored by Paul Walker (Riviera, The Ex-Wife), with a specific focus on episodic television directing.

Alongside directing, I also write fiction. Under the pen name Charlotte Bedgood, my debut novel The Dawn of the Lightning Goddess and its sequel The Insurgence of The Cursed Prince are a journey into my love for fantasy.
