Nic started training in Hollywood, as an actor at the Lee Strasberg Theatre & Film Institute. During that time, he appeared on TV, film, commercials, and has even taken to the stage a few times. He currently continues to develop his craft. The experience of collaborating with directors, first as an actor, has inspired him to expand his own art into filmmaking. It is a natural duality allowing him to wear different hats and confront different challenges. Filmmaking has become the ultimate tool for him to share personal stories from his generation. Having grown up not just in and around Hollywood, but also with two parents in the entertainment business; he believes wholeheartedly we are entering a renaissance of opportunity for filmmakers of all colors and gender.
Nic has been living in Paris since 2009 working as an actor, producer, and filmmaker starring in multiple films including "The Follower" directed by Kévin Mendiboure.
He recently wrote, produced and directed the "First Believer" in which he also stars, as well as directing Wilfried Capet's "The Vow", which won "Best Indie Short Film" at the Los Angeles Film Awards Festival.

She appears on stage, TV, and cinema, but, her interest for writing and directing emerges rapidly. Among other things, she participates for a few seasons, in the « Cartoucherie de Vincennes encounters » at the « Théâtre de la Tempête », her first steps into the world of directing and writing.
With a great passion for any forms of creation, she launches her own fashion brand, « minaPoe », for which she devoted all her energy for the following fifteen years.
