Nik Tizekker is a director, producer, and creative storyteller with over fifteen years of experience working behind the camera in the entertainment industry. In 2005, he founded Tizaster Productions, a company known for turning ideas into art in motion through visual storytelling.

​

His career has placed him in fast-paced, high-pressure environments where early call times, long hours, and unpredictable chaos are the norm. From large-scale productions to short form creative projects, Nik has worked in environments where opportunity reveals itself unexpectedly. — from Leverage to projects connected to Robert Downey Jr. and Star Wars legends. Most recently, he partnered with Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee and Journey member Jonathan Cain on music video and album design work.

​

While filmmaking often appears glamorous from the outside, Nik’s work has been shaped just as much by the unseen moments — the waiting, the preparation, and the discipline required to stay ready when timing and opportunity finally align. Those experiences have informed not only how he tells stories, but how he approaches leadership, creativity, and life.

​

Influenced by filmmakers such as J.J. Abrams for his approach to pacing and cinematic storytelling, The Lord of the Rings is what first ignited his desire to tell visual stories. Nik continues to create with a focus on authenticity, purpose, and human connection.

 

He lives in the United States and continues to tell stories rooted in the timeless craft of Old Hollywood — where storytelling mattered, performances lingered, and the work was built to last.
