Writer/Director Nikyatu Jusu's films have enjoyed prolific film festival runs. Her short film Suicide By Sunlight: a project funded by THROUGH HER LENS and sponsored by the Tribeca Film Institute and Chanel, made its debut at the 2019 Sundance Film Festival.
Currently she is in post production on her feature debut: NANNY, a supernatural thriller centering a Senegalese immigrant Nanny in NYC haunted by otherworldly forces that threaten to dismantle the American dream she's painstakingly assembled. Anna Diop (DC Universe Titans, Us), stars in the film. Topic Studios, Stay Gold Pictures, LinLay Productions and Nikkia Moulterie teamed up to finance and produce.
In addition to making films, Nikyatu teaches filmmaking as a tenure track Assistant Professor at George Mason University. She is repped at M88 and CAA.
