Goodbye Niknok Media

Producer Amanda Konkin started creating work in 2011 under the banner of Niknok Media. Since then she has transitioned away from theatre and shifted her focus into film and television. She incorporated 2 Film Companies in 2019 with amazing women, Spectacle 5 films and Download Joy Productions and has worked full time in animation at Mainframe Studios since 2015. While she no longer produces content using Niknok Media, the brand will always be close to her heart. She can continue to be reached at akonkin@niknokmedia.com for all her live action production work.
