Nico Navia was born in the beautiful city of Bogota, Colombia, however Miami became his permanent home at the age of ten. Navia graduated in 2011 from NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts with a BFA in Film and Television Production. It was there where he discovered his sensibilities for storytelling through composition, camera movement, and light. This encouraged him to dedicate his life’s work to the art and craft of cinematography. In 2013 he was awarded the Bronze Award in the Kodak Student Scholarship Program for his work on The Superman, a short film produced at AFI where he graduated in 2014 with a MFA in Cinematography. One of Navia’s thesis films, Against Night, earned him a nomination for the 2015 ASC Gordon Willis Student Heritage Award and was a finalist for the 2015 Student Academy Awards. Navia resides in Los Angeles.
