About

    
Nexus means connection or centre.  Isn't that cool!  We live, breathe, and eat films, and it tastes like butter cream cookies with extra sugar on top.  We pride ourselves on being unique, diverse, and only limited by our imaginations; tackling every genre from westerns to musicals to gross out comedy to hentai-inspired, blood-spattered, avant-garde mayhem.  Yes, that is a genre. 





Ivan Malekin - Writer / Director / Editor

 
Ivan Malekin found film with a little serendipity back in 2007 and has never looked back.  With a Degree in Professional Writing and Editing he could not help but be drawn to this new direction in story-telling: the immediacy and the intimacy of seeing characters brought to life on the big screen - there is no other feeling quite like it, people. 


Ivan plunged head first into film and quickly learnt to swim.  He is the founder and director of the Made In Melbourne Film Festival, which showcases emerging and established local filmmakers, and Short Cut Monthly Film Night, a regular interactive event which screens some of the best short films from Australia and around the world. 

Ivan has also produced and directed numerous short films, and has his first feature film in post-production, Dace Decklan: Private Eye, a wacky gross out comedy all about stiffies and titties.   He has edited a wide variety of work, including showreels, concerts, corporate promos, weddings, and more.

And he is just getting started, constantly scheming, dreaming, and planning world domination. 


 


Patrick Siscar - Compositor / Animator

 
If Ivan stumbled into film then Patrick Siscar was the man dragged in and used as a floatation device.  He has the body for it after all. 

Patrick is the super graphics man of NPG, a seriously talented artist and animator, who has designed posters, logos, DVD covers, brochures, and advertising material for numerous films and events.  His animation has appeared on television and in feature film and helped launch corporate presentations. 

Patrick multi-tasks on both PC and Mac, keeping abreast of current trends in film editing.  A breast.  Hehe.   Green screen compositing, special effects, title sequences and animation mean semi-transparent ghosts, decapitated heads, smoking black hole suns, knife-wielding little girls plus much more.

Patty specializes in taking the Ordinary and warping it into the exciting zaniness that defines NPG, each session on After Effects leaving him with a warm after glow of pride.

 

 

 

 

 


Anthony Arcuri -  Actor / Presenter

 
Anthony is a talented actor and presenter, passionate, positive, and enthusiastic.  His infectious personality and shiny black locks motivate fellow cast and crew to bring the most out of every project. 

He has an extensive background in film and theatre, studying at Rusden under mentor Simon Fisher, the same man that brought Rachel Griffiths to our television screens and into the cockles of our hearts.  Now he presents Anthony and our cockles not only warm but burst with fire.  And desire. 
 
Anthony has recently starred in Cosi at the Eagles Nest Theatre and has also been front and centre in numerous short films, commercials, and independent feature films.  He embraces the substance, spirit, and soul of the independent scene, living the life, pursuing the dream, always with a smile ready to shine.
