Nicolas is a Colombian-American writer and director who specializes in narratives about outcasts and the marginalized. At 11-years-old, Nicolas and his family left Colombia under a direct threat from guerrilla group, FARC, and settled west of Miami where Nicolas soaked in the culture. As a survivor of the war on drugs, an immigrant, and a person with a mild case of cerebral palsy, Nicolas is committed to telling stories about diverse underdogs who challenge the way we think about the groups they represent.
In 2018, Nicolas' feature screenplay, El Camino, won Final Draft's Big Break diversity category and was a top 8 finalist (among 7,000) for the overall prize.

Sloan Grant, the semifinals of the Humanitas Carol Mendelsohn Drama Fellowship, and the semifinals of the Academy Nicholl Fellowship, among others.
His short film, Beyond Goldenhill, premiered at the Weyauwega International Film Festival in 2015 to strong reviews.
