Nicole Philippidis is a New York City based director, filmmaker and editor, and the founder of 277 Films.

Her work spans original films, documentary and performance-based projects, music video, fashion and beauty, and commissioned work for artists, designers and creative organizations.

​

Philippidis came to filmmaking after an extensive career as a contemporary choreographer and Artistic Director of 277 Dance Project. That background continues to inform her approach behind the camera particularly her attention to composition, rhythm, space and the relationship between camera and subject. Her work is grounded in visual storytelling and in finding the distinct language of each project rather than applying a single style across different subjects.

​

She founded 277 Films in 2019 and works across direction, cinematography and editing, often taking projects from initial concept through post-production. Her original films explore movement, human relationships and the ways physical and emotional experience can be shaped through image, sound and editing.

​

Her films have received awards including Best Dance Film at the New York Short Film Festival and Midnight Film Festival for Thoughts as Storms, and Best Music Video at the New York International Film Festival for Sound of Silence.

 

277 Films is available for commissioned projects and collaborations.
