Florine + Kim NÜESCH
The Nüesch Sisters are an award-winning directing duo based in London and Zurich that strives to create films that deeply resonate with their audience.
Their work spans short films, commercials, music videos, and fashion films. Raised in Switzerland by a writer/painter mother and an architect father, they were encouraged to practice their artistic and technical abilities from a young age. They sharpened their directing skills and found their unique visual style during their studies at Art Center College of Design in Los Angeles, where they continued to live and work after their graduation until 2020. Kim followed with a Masters Degree in Screenwriting at London Film School in 2023. They have won multiple awards for their films, including silver at the Cannes Young Director Award for their latest short film, Forget Me Not. Currently they are in pre-production for a new short film and are finalizing two feature film screenplays.
