The film was co-written by Nikou, Sam Steiner and Stavros Raptis; cinematography was done by Marcell Rév (“Euphoria”). “Fingernails” will be Nikou’s English-language debut.
Blanchett reached out to Nikou after seeing his directorial debut “Apples” at the Venice Film Festival, asking if she could play a part in his next project. After informing Blanchett he did not have a role in mind for Blanchett, she asked if she could produce the film. “We realized how much we share exactly the same passion about cinema,” Nikou told Variety. The film opens in New York and Los Angeles theaters on Oct.
