Born in Miami, Nicco spent most of his childhood in Park City, Utah. He began working for the local TV station at the age of 11.
Nicco was first exposed to high-caliber production in high school as an intern for Spike Lee in Brooklyn, and later studied at NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts. As a young professional, he climbed to department head positions on film and television sets of all sizes and scopes, eventually working alongside top-tier directors he identifies with, such as Andrew Jarecki on HBO’s The Jinx.
As a director, Nicco has chosen a path that weaves together cinematic savvy with the journalism in his blood. His innate curiosity leads him towards stories that matter, and his experience drives how he tells them.
