NICK DAYProducer | Presenter | Public Speaker Nick Day's production career stretches back to the 1980s, when he trained and worked as a video editor while studying cinema at the British Film Institute in London. Relocating to New York, he formed his own production company and spent several years providing programming for international broadcasters, including RAI Corporation Italy, ZDF Germany and Globosat Brazil. In early 2001 Nick traveled to India with fellow filmmaker Maurizio Benazzo to make a documentary about the Maha Kumbh Mela festival, the biggest event in the history of humanity, which attracts over 70 million people. Their film, Short Cut to Nirvana, went on to win several awards and gather much critical acclaim, and played in theaters in over 100 cities in the US as well as overseas. More recently Nick has focused his attention on the deeper questions of consciousness, and now produces and presents Consciousness Central, an ongoing series of programs from TSC. Nick is co-creator of the animated feature Mindville with Stuart Hameroff, currently in development. Nick also gives talks on consciousness and the creative arts, and has presented at numerous high profile events, including Deepak Chopra's Sages & Scientists Symposium, The Science of Consciousness (TSC) conference, Science and Nonduality Conference (SAND), Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS) conference, Society For Consciousness Studies, BOOM Festival, and Burning Man. He has guest-lectured at UC Berkeley Department of Anthropology and USC School of Cinematic Arts. His television and radio appearances include BBC World, WBAI New York, KQED San Francisco and KPFK Los Angeles. In his quest for a deeper understanding of all aspects of consciousness, Nick is also trained in hypnosis. Find Nick Day on imdb | LinkedIn TALKS 2023THE SCIENCE OF CONSCIOUSNESS CONFERENCE (TSC)
