Nicole Conn – Writer/Director/Editor/Mother

Nicole Conn has been a die-hard romantic and black and white film fan from the age of nine.

Her penchant for adult and dramatic story telling is evident in latest critically acclaimed feature film, A PERFECT ENDING – “the sexiest film of 2012” (Curve)

Conn’s penchant for telling stories that really hit home, is “greatly rewarded” by all the fan mail she gets from viewers who watch her film multiple times. If there ever was an earmark of success, Conn believes it’s in “seeing my work over and over and OVER again.” It doesn’t hurt that her previous feature “Elena Undone” boasts the LONGEST ON SCREEN KISS IN CINEMA HISTORY: This classic romance with a twist is “sexy and smart and smoldering.

Conn’s previous venture, little man, is a documentary she wrote, directed and produced about her own premature son born 100 days early and only weighing one pound. The feature documentary went on to win 12 Best Documentary Awards, along with the prestigious Cedar Sinai’s Courageous Beginnings Award and Family Pride’s Family Tree Award. The film made three TOP TEN FILMS OF 2005 list and Showtime picked up the feature and ran an Emmy campaign on this hard-hitting story about Conn’s son’s premature birth and subsequent 5-month hospital stay in a Neo-natal Intensive Care Unit.

In efforts to continue her support of other parents who find themselves thrust into the insanity of the NICU, Ms Conn collaborated with Preemie Magazine Founder Deborah Discenza in creating the The Preemie Parent’s NICU Survival Guide: How to Maintain Your Sanity and Create a New Normal published in January, 2010.

Conn’s passion for film carried her through her first feature in which she raised the money, wrote, directed and produced Claire of the Moon, the maverick film about a woman's journey to her sexual identity. The film garnered rave reviews and paved the way for lesbian themed cinema in 1991. Conn also created a FIRST for lesbian cinema: ancillary in the form of a novelization (in its 15th reprint and 10 Year Anniversary Republish) a making-of documentary MOMENTS (best-selling lesbian documentary ever made), soundtracks, posters, t-shirts, etc. She followed these projects with the award winning short film, Cynara...Poetry in Motion.
