#80 - Nica Fazio - A Film Career Built on Persistence & Kindness

In this episode, Nica Fazio shares a grounded and honest look at what it truly takes to grow in the film industry. After moving from another country to New York, she reflects on the non-linear reality of building a career on set—navigating visas, cultural shifts, and the challenge of starting from zero in an unfamiliar industry. Rather than relying on shortcuts or titles, Nica’s path has been shaped by persistence, curiosity, and showing up with humility. Alongside her growth as a working grip and electric, she has also built an authentic presence on social media, using it as a tool to share her experiences, educate, and encourage others. Through this visibility, Nica has become an inspiration to many women around the world, showing that a career in film—especially in technical departments—is not only possible, but attainable. Her story is a powerful reminder that film careers are built slowly, through kindness, trust, and the courage to keep going when the path isn’t clear.JOIN CIVA COLLECTIVE ► https://www.civacollective.com/USE THE CODE: TCG20 TO RECEIVE 20% OFF "THE FOUNDATION" MEMBERSHIPFollow Us!Nica Fazio:  ⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠Community InstagramCarlo: ⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠⁠Website⁠⁠⁠⁠The Creative Gap:⁠⁠⁠ ⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠ |⁠⁠⁠ ⁠Youtube⁠⁠⁠____________________________________________________⚙️ GEAR USED TO MAKE THIS PODCAST:Rodecaster Pro II:⁠⁠ ⁠https://amzn.to/3RluSeV⁠⁠⁠Rode Podmic:⁠⁠ ⁠https://amzn.to/3RpaR77⁠⁠⁠Mic Stand:⁠⁠ ⁠https://amzn.to/4caJUfi⁠⁠⁠Camera 1:⁠⁠ ⁠https://amzn.to/45h5E7b⁠⁠⁠Camera 2:⁠⁠ ⁠https://amzn.to/45g8iKx⁠⁠⁠Light:⁠⁠ ⁠https://amzn.to/3KK6XSt⁠
