Nicholas Hans Starke Anderson (1956-2025)

Nicholas Hans Starke Anderson, born January 3, 1956 in Washington, D.C., was named Nicholas because he was expected on Christmas Day. He departed this life January 1, 2025, surrounded by loving family and friends, two days short of his 69th birthday and following a long illness due to pancreatic disease. He will be remembered as a beloved husband, brother, son, and friend, as well as a multi-talented artist.

Nick developed an interest in visual media early on from his father, a professional photographer, but it was at the Rhode Island School of Design where he fell in love with filmmaking. He graduated in 1978 with a degree in fine arts and embarked on an award-winning career as a film editor that spanned over 40 years.
