About
PRODUCER, DIRECTOR, EDITOR, WRITER, MIDNIGHT DANCER
A little bit of this, a little bit of that, and a whole lot of sass!
Nive has over 20 years of advocacy, project management and evaluation experience on international development projects. On her travels, she has heard many powerful stories. These encounters, and an itch to help others tell their truths on their own terms, brought her to the wonderful world of filmmaking. She has produced, shot and edited stop-motion videos, news and cultural shorts for various outlets. Recently she produced, edited and directed the award-winning short documentary film, Boys in the Boat. She also served as a producer on the award-winning Spanish feature documentary, La Grieta.
She holds a B.A. in Political Science and Global Studies from Wittenberg University, a M.A. in Participation, Power, and Social Change from the Institute of Development Studies at the University of Sussex, a Multimedia Storytelling Certification from Columbia University School of Journalism, and a Graduate Certification in Documentary Filmmaking from George Washington University.
Moving forward, Nive hopes to prove that anything is possible if you put your mind to it with a good group of people and a healthy dose of bad ideas.
