Niku Radan began working on film productions in 2016, when she was brought onto a short film as an actress and story editor. She then went on to study Broadcasting and Electronic Communication Arts at San Francisco State University, taking every available scriptwriting course in the department (and some in the Cinema department... and in the English Literature Department). She took classes covering Television Production, Media Aesthetics, News Production, Live Event Production, and Media Performance. She’s since been a go-to hire for local short film shoots as an actress, AD, and everything in between.
