FINALIST
Nick Wilkinson's career in the entertainment industry began as a writer. His earlier experiences in the high-tech industry provided the inspiration for his first novel, Snakes and Ladders, published under the pen name of John Willins, and the recently completed sequel, Pay Day.
Wilkinson added screenwriting to his resume with the pilot script and TV bible for Snakes and Ladders, an adaption of his two novels, and the pilot for Jimmy Hong, a gritty detective series set during the Korean War. He has also written and will direct Olde Boys, a feel-good buddy comedy feature.
Originally from England, and now a naturalized US citizen, Nick has also lived in Australia, and worked in many countries throughout the world.
The Fast Track Program is full of humorous contradictions. Dark dealings and hypocrisy in a squeaky-clean corporation; earnest, touchy-feely career advice, pragmatic implementation; a lifetime of experience packed into one day. Directorial Debut
