I'm Nick Merola, a New York City-based director who has developed over 100 commercials, music videos, and short films. My work has been recognized by the Webby Awards for branded content, Telly Awards for best direction and best low-budget commercial for my work with "Dead by Daylight". My short films - including Silent Hill: The Room, Grandma, May I, and Shattered Memories (featured on Crypt TV) — have earned dozens of festival nominations worldwide.

My branded and commercial directing work spans some of the most iconic IP in horror and gaming, including A Nightmare on Elm Street, Friday the 13th, Child’s Play, Halloween, Resident Evil, IT, Dead Space, Spider-Man, Dead by Daylight, and Ghostface. I have partnered with top-tier studios such as Marvel, Sony Pictures, Universal, Warner Bros., and Activision.
