Viko Nikci
Viko Nikci is a writer and director for film and theater. Born in Kosovo, raised in NYC and based in Dublin, Viko has worked in the arts ever since taking a wrong turn in Chelsea and stumbling into the Irish Repertory Theatre at age 15. With a fake ID swearing he was 18, he walked out with a job and the start of a life-long journey in the world of storytelling. Award winning films include COMING HOME and CELLAR DOOR. Recent screenplays include CHASING YOUR GHOST, CATCH A KITE and the upcoming LINEAGE. Recent theater includes the world premiere stage adaptation of Meave Binchy’s CIRCLE OF FRIENDS. From chairman of Filmbase to founding a children’s charity, Viko has held many roles - but none as cherished as being a father to three little heroes.
