Nicholas Jarecki (born June 25, 1979) is an American director, producer, and writer best known for his 2012 feature film ''Arbitrage''. ==Early life, education, and career== Jarecki was born on June 25, 1979 in New York City, to Henry Jarecki and Marjorie Heidsieck. He has three brothers, finance executive Thomas A. Jarecki and fellow filmmakers Andrew Jarecki and Eugene Jarecki (Andrew and Eugene are half-brothers).〔 At 16 he was hired as a technical consultant on the 1995 film ''Hackers'', where his job was to consult with the actors and director about computer hacking. Jarecki took an interest in filmmaking on the set of ''Hackers'', recalling, "I kept noticing that there was this guy that Angelina seemed to really look up to and respect, so I asked 'Who's that?' and they told me he was the director. Then I knew it was clear what I wanted to do."〔http://www.fastcocreate.com/1681599/how-nicholas-jarecki-hacked-his-way-to-his-first-feature-film〕 At 19 Jarecki graduated from New York University and went on to try directing music videos to get noticed in the film community. After no one expressed interest in his video services he decided to interview his favorite directors to see how they got their start.
