Nick Utter Shoots New Work for Dallas Mavericks City Edition: Pegasus City

Written by Nick Utter

Dallas-based director and DP Nick Utter is behind the newly released Dallas Mavericks City Edition: Pegasus City film, an atmospheric tribute to the historic 1934 neon Pegasus and its place in Dallas lore.

Produced by Content Shift, the project was a true Dallas crew effort, featuring FPV work by Next Level FPV, set builds from Fauxcades, a camera and G&E team led by Jared Deer, Tyler Bishop, Haiden Williams, Justo Garcia, Brian Stitt, and many others. Nick also handled color and post, blending new visuals with archival imagery from UNT Libraries Special Collections.

A striking piece of creative work for a piece of Dallas history.

I’m a Commercial Director | Director of Photography with over 15 years of experience in the industry. My career has taken me across a diverse range of projects, from brand films and commercials to music videos, feature films, documentaries, and corporate media.

I’m passionate about delivering work that not only meets but exceeds expectations, bringing energy, precision, and creativity to every frame.

Whether it’s capturing the intensity of a fast-paced action sequence or the intimacy of a quiet, reflective moment, I’m committed to infusing every project with a distinct perspective and artistic flair.

I also understand the importance of flexibility and adaptability on set. Over the years, I’ve gained extensive experience juggling the inevitable challenges of production to ensure we hit our day and stay within budget. Whether it’s making creative adjustments on the fly or streamlining workflows to meet tight deadlines, I thrive under pressure and know how to make the most of every moment.

With a blend of technical expertise and a sharp artistic eye, my goal is to create visuals that are not only stunning but also deeply impactful—images that spark goosebumps and linger in the hearts of audiences long after the screen fades to black.
