"Nics" is a student filmmaker who aspires to make films that explore complex human relationships, familiarize the seemingly unfamiliar (and vice versa), and highlight the importance of grieving in recognizing oppressive dominant structures like the capitalistic patriarchal society we live in. She recognizes that film has its shortcomings as a medium for radical change but still believes in its ability to rewire the way one perceives life and bring people together. She longs for a future that will make filmmaking more humane and film education more accessible.
