After becoming politicised as a student at Sussex University, Nicola
began working in Community Arts, using video to give people a voice in a
number of community settings, particularly focusing on working with
those with learning and physical disabilities, and producing with them
the groundbreaking Whose Disability? and Deaf Terrorists Vs The Hearing World (of
which we have so far been unable to find a copy). She went on to join
the BBC, becoming an award-winning producer/director in documentaries before
leaving for a freelance career working in a number of formats where her
core interest is still encouraging the making of programmes/films with
people rather than about people. FULL BIOGRAPHY HERE
