Nicolas Pereira

Directing

Born on August 24, 1997, in Aubervilliers, France, Nicolas Pereira developed a passion for the arts at a young age, encompassing cinema, painting, and writing. In 2016, he pursued a year of studies in film and television direction at a film school. During this period, he also gained experience as a director of photography (DOP) and production manager on various projects. Over the following years, he initiated creative ventures, including music videos and visual content for Paris Fashion Week, showcasing his versatility across mediums. In 2021, Nicolas took a new direction by enrolling in actor training at the Method Acting Center in Paris. During this formative year, he embarked on his first feature film project in collaboration with Olivia Rose, an actress from his school. The resulting film, AD LOVE, filmed entirely on an iPhone, marks the first part of his diptych CATABASE. Nicolas took on multiple roles in the project: producer, director, actor, DOP, editor, and colorist—highlighting his multifaceted talent and dedication to his craft. In 2023, he directed the second part of CATABASE, titled KA.VAL, wich is still in post-production. Since then, he has been working on his third feature film while collaborating with several nationally renowned musical artists in France. He is also active in the fashion industry, creating visual content for internationally acclaimed designers and magazines. Deeply inspired by German Expressionism and the avant-garde movement, Nicolas is particularly drawn to exploring the dreamlike and surreal in his projects, making these themes central to his artistic identity.
