About Nico

Long before he was a Sony Alpha Partner or an award-winning director at Banff, Nico Muñoz was just a student painting tables to pay for film school, obsessed with a borrowed VHS camera. He studied cinematography and documentary filmmaking at ORT, INA (France), and Maine Media College (USA). That early drive to capture reality defined his career. Nico spent 13 years as a correspondent for Associated Press Television (APTN), covering breaking news across Latin America. But in 2014, he made a bold pivot: he traded the adrenaline of the news cycle for the depth of documentary filmmaking.

Today, Nico blends those two worlds. He brings the reflex and grit of a journalist to the cinematic beauty of an artist. His work explores the intersections of social justice, environmental crisis, and resilience—always searching for the human heartbeat inside the headline.

His unique approach has earned him the Best Adventure Film at Banff (2018) and a Sony World Photography Award (2024). Based in Buenos Aires, he collaborates with global broadcasters like Al Jazeera and ARTE, proving that intimate stories can have a massive impact.

Today, based in Buenos Aires, Nico directs documentaries and branded stories that combine technical expertise with a deeply personal touch. He collaborates with NGOs, global broadcasters, and purpose-driven brands to navigate sensitive themes and craft compelling visuals—delivering high-value storytelling even with limited budgets and tight deadlines.

(And yes, according to his three sons, he’s also a pretty good father).

Thank you!
