Niki Sheldrake is an Essex-based screenwriter known for high-concept action, comedy and thrillers, who trained in screenwriting and producing at London Metropolitan University. His scripts have been optioned by leading production companies and landed six-figure offers.

 

In 2022 he wrote and produced the micro-budget comedy-horror feature The House That Zombies Built. In 2023 he sold the action-comedy Unloaded Weapon and the black comedy The Debt Inherited to Oceana Studios. The latter was featured on the front page of Variety at Cannes and is set to shoot in 2026 starring Peter Stormare.

 

His action-comedy Unwanted Baggage — developed with Camille Delamarre (Brick Mansions, Transporter Refueled) — is currently being packaged by producer Lavinia Postolache at Lavi Films, along with his big budget action sci-fi script The AI Guy.
