Nick Psinakis & Kevin Ignatius are an independent filmmaking duo that directs film, television and music videos. In addition to writing and directing, both Nick and Kevin serve in a variety of key positions including acting, editing, composing, scoring and producing their films.

Their latest film, titled “Cheat”, had its World Premiere during the opening night at Frightfest 2023 in the UK. The film was praised for its cinematography, original score as well as visual scope given the modest budget. Eye For Film complimented how it “chips away at viewers’ confidence in how events will unfold” as well as ”the directors’ willingness to break with the stylistic codes of the genre” calling it “a much more mature thriller”.

Nick and Kevin spent their early years in New York City before eventually moving to Los Angeles where they honed their craft and cut their teeth making short films, music videos and sketches for FunnyOrDie. Other notable projects include the short films titled “J” and “Hookman”. “Hook Man” stars Haneefah Wood (Truth Be Told Apple TV +) and won eight different awards while “J” had its World Premiere at the Omaha Film Festival sharing a film block alongside other short films that starred Kristen Wiig and Oscar Issac most notably.

Four Eighteen Films' feature film debut was the indie comedy, titled “My Best Friend's Famous”. The film is directed and scored by Ignatius and stars Psinakis alongside Oscar Nominee Ryan O’Neal (Love Story, Barry Lyndon) and two time Emmy Nominee Mindy Sterling (The Goldbergs, Austin Powers). The movie premiered on Amazon Prime in September 2019. 

Their second feature film titled "The Long Dark Trail", a horror adventure thriller was shot during COVID and was released in 2023. The Guardian called it "Undeniably Sharp Technical Exercise".
