Biography

Nadia’s unique observations were picked up by the BBC when she became a regular feature of the highly successful 90s TV Series, Video Nation, where her satirical slices of life were so treasured they remain a feature on the BBC’s Vintage archive website.
This followed with a stint on C4 writing, producing and Aliens Amongst Us won final selection at the Black Hollywood Film Festival in 2003 directing a documentary Aliens Amongst Us. Time Out described Aliens amongst Us as ‘raw, exciting and a great story.’
