Nicolás Bori
Originally from Buenos Aires, Argentina. Nicolas first got a business degree in Maastricht (Netherlands) before he realized he could make a living out of his real interest, storytelling and films. He went all in, quit his job at Google and left Ireland with a camera and camping tent.
Crossed Africa on a truck from Capetown to Cairo and made a short film about it that landed him a job as a travel content filmmaker for a British adventure tourism company. 5 years, 80 countries and 1 film featured in National Geographic later, he decided to take the next step. He learnt German and applied at the Filmakademie Baden-Württemberg as a commercial director. He won a bunch of nice awards before even graduating, and has been working across Europe directing films since then. He is currently based in Berlin.
Nicolas loves storytelling, sometimes to make you laugh, sometimes to make you connect emotionally with its characters. In any case he loves practical challenges on his films and using CGI and VFX to enhance a story. He has a soft spot for projects with relevant social messages,and loves thinking creatively to make big things on tight budgets.
His first student film (“The Decision”) won him several international awards including the “Best in show” & Glenn C. Smith scholarship at the Andy Awards (Advertising Club of New York).
