As an American born in France, Niki has simultaneously experienced both cultures. As a seasoned professional the thinking behind C2ok was to pull all these experiences into one format and run with it.
That became a reality in June 2021.
Clients include: Amazon Prime, ABC, CBS, CNN, CTV, NBC, Discovery, Food Channel, Fox, Golf Channel, History Channel, PBS, National Geographic, Netflix, Nickelodeon, Reshet, Tennis Channel, TLC, and Seven Network Australia.
“C2ok’s mission is to create a memorable and positive filming experience for English-language media clients. Be they large or small projects, we want you to take home fond memories, new friends, and a craving to come back.
France is a terrific playground to film in - the rest is history and for that we have the Lumière Brothers to thank – clearly they were on to something in 1895….
I tip my hat to the companies and individuals I have had the privilege to work with over the years - you know who you are. Thanks to such diverse experiences with incredibly professional and talented people, I am ready to give it a go on my own.”
