"I love the 70s," Nikki Milan Houston says. A fan of blaxploitation films and Jane Birkin, 18-year-old Houston recently moved from a small beach town in California to study directing and screenwriting at Columbia College.

"Also, I have to throw in the Austin Powers costume designers as a huge inspiration." See one of Nikki's films below.
