Nicole Pryce
Artistic director
Nicole Pryce is a writer, editor, director and media student at Ryerson. After acting, directing, and filming multiple theatre events, she noticed a trend in the industry. Nicole believes her purpose is to tell the stories that have been suppressed or underexposed over the years. She tries to bring this purpose into all of her works, including Notorious’ contemporary Romeo and Juliet which she directed last summer. As she continues to develop scripts and short films that challenge the status quo, she is constantly inspired by the resilience and power of the young creatives that are coming up alongside her.
