Nicholas was born in Seattle to Hungarian parents on July 15th, 1986. Since childhood, Nicholas avidly immersed himself in the world of motion pictures with the indelible influence of his father, Örs Gyeney, who would sit down with Nicholas to show him new films like Star Wars, The Terminator series, and the adventures of James Bond. Sadly, the tradition ended in 1998 when Nicholas' father died tragically. Fueled by his loss, Nicholas started diving deeper into movies than ever before and soon discovered his calling as a filmmaker.

After being awarded a full scholarship to the University of Southern California's prestigious film program, Nicholas began work on his first independent film, while continuing his studies. After a successful premiere, the film found distribution and began paving the road for Nicholas to establish relationships with many of the industry's most successful professionals.

In 2009, with USC and his first feature behind him, and after three years developing and sharpening his abilities as a filmmaker, Nicholas wrote, produced, and directed his 2nd feature and first theatrically released film, "The Penitent Man," which has been highly acclaimed for its unique structure and style. "The Penitent Man" stars Lance Henriksen (Aliens, The Terminator, Millennium), and Andrew Keegan (10 Things I Hate About You), and is available on Netflix, iTunes, Amazon, and other digital platforms.

In 2012, Nicholas directed his third feature, a dark comedy called, "Matt's Chance" starring Edward Furlong, Lee Majors, Margot Kidder, and Gary Busey. After a successful film festival tour that garnered critical acclaim and several awards for best picture, acting, and original score, "Matt's Chance" enjoyed a brief limited theatrical run, and is now available on various VOD platforms.

In 2015, Nicholas embarked on his most ambitious undertaking: Beta Test. Sporting an exciting cast of both rising stars and genre veterans including Manu Bennett (Arrow, Spartacus, The Hobbit Trilogy), Larenz Tate (Menace II Society, Crash, The Postman), and Linden Ashby (Mortal Kombat, Teen Wolf, Wyatt Earp), Beta Test also boasts the current record for the longest single-shot choreographed fight sequence in film history.

As Nicholas places finishing touches on his latest film in the coming months, he awaits the upcoming theatrical release of Beta Test while he is quickly establishing himself as one of the most hardworking filmmakers in the Northwest.
