- Nicholas Bushman was born April 6, 1984 in Columbus, Ohio. From a very early age, he wanted to make films and at age 16 he dropped out of high school to pursue filmmaking full-time. His directorial debut, Sandbar (2012), starred 80s legend Rick Rossovich, of Top Gun (1986) fame, who committed to the film after Bushman flew to his home in Stockholm, to convince him to take the part. The wild dark comedy received a small theatrical run in 2012 and was later acquired by Virgil Films for a DVD release the following summer.
For his acclaimed follow-up, Union Furnace (2015), Bushman enlisted genre-favorite Keith David to star alongside longtime collaborator Mike Dwyer and other "Sandbar" alums as the desperate players of the film's life-or-death games. "Union Furnace" was released theatrically and on video-on-demand in the summer of 2015 by Bushman and Dwyer's own company, Metropol Pictures, which also distributed the film on Blu-ray and DVD.
Bushman's third feature film, the award-winning thriller Stranger in the Dunes (2016), was shot in the remote Outer Banks of North Carolina. The film had its international premiere in London as an official selection of the 25th Raindance Film Festival.
In Future Lies (2018), his genre-bending follow-up to "Stranger in the Dunes", Bushman unravels the doomed affair of a love-crazed couple from the future trapped in the past.- IMDb mini biography by: Anonymous
