Nikita Zarkh is a writer and director from Odessa, Ukraine. He has directed a handful of fiction shorts, completed 5 feature-length screenplays and a limited series.
Sparrow is the directors’ self-funded passion project, an anxious thriller shot on tungsten 16mm on location along the Jersey Shore. Featuring an Asian-American lead and largely Asian-American crew, the film explores themes of comprehending violence and coping with isolation through the eyes of a young, alienated first-generation American.
