Born in the fog of San Francisco, Nicolette Daskalakis is a filmmaker, writer, and internationally-exhibited photographer based in France.
​
Her career is marked by a fluidity between narrative, commercial, and fine art spaces, allowing her work to be informed by a rich diversity of experience and artistic mediums. 

Upon graduating from the USC School of Cinematic Arts, Nicolette first began working as an art director and production designer for film. She soon transitioned into working full-time as a freelance filmmaker, photographer, and video editor. Since then, she has created video and photo content for a variety of clients, including BuzzFeed, Paramount, Univision, L'Oréal, Ulta, Vegamour, Moon Juice, Hair by Sam McKnight, HelloGiggles, Mitú, and others.

Writing remains an integral part of Nicolette's creative practice. Her feature-length screenplay "Violet" was a finalist for the 2019 Outfest Screenwriting Lab, and in 2022, Nicolette was selected as a finalist for the Agnes Lynch Starrett Poetry Prize. She has published multiple books of poetry, most recently "Portrait of Your Ex Assembling Furniture", and continues to incorporate language into her visual art. 

Nicolette received a BA in Film & TV Production from the USC School of Cinematic Arts and a minor in Intermedia Arts from the Roski School of Art & Design. She is currently completing a Master of Fine Arts at the institut supérieur des arts et du design de Toulouse in France.
