NICOL PAONE – Director and Producer
Born and bred in New Jersey, Nicol Paone’s road to becoming a filmmaker began on Wall Street working as a currency trader. Quickly realizing the world of finance wasn’t her calling, she headed out West and found herself studying improv and sketchwriting at The Groundlings and would eventually land a spot writing/performing in the group’s coveted Sunday Company. From there she would join Rosie O’Donnell’s The Big Gay Sketch Show as a producer/performer for three seasons, working alongside Kate McKinnon and others. As a writer/director/performer at Funny or Die she would continue to hone her craft churning out content for the platform. Her work inevitably led to lending her comedic talents in the world of politics, producing award-winning content for the Obama administration before eventually joining Hillary Clinton’s campaign producing/directing a series of collaboration videos with the Center for American Progress. Her first film Friendsgiving was produced by Ben Stiller/Red Hour and tackles the all too familiar territory of what happens when your Thanksgiving is filled with all chaos and dysfunction of the annual holiday feast but none of the family that comes with it. Her latest film, The Kill Room, starring Uma Thurman, Samuel Jackson, Maya Hawke, and Joe Manganiello released theatrically on September 29 from Shout! Studios. The dark comedic thriller follows an art dealer who teams with a hitman and his boss for a money laundering scheme that accidentally turns the hitman into an Avant-Garde sensation, forcing the dealer to play the art world against the criminal underworld. Whether it’s through her own writing or collaborating with others, Paone’s approach to directing is rooted in translating what’s on the page into captivating cinema filled with relatable characters.
