Nicole Mairose Dizon is an LA-based first-generation Filipina-American writer, director, and producer from Baldwin Park, CA. Her love for storytelling began at a young age when she acted in gospel reenactments at church and took art classes in various mediums. As the oldest and only daughter of a divorced bookkeeper and former smog technician, her Filipinx-centric work explores class, strivers and the overlooked with elements of thriller and surrealism.

At the University of California, Irvine, she was 1 of 34 seniors selected for the Chancellor’s Award of Distinction out of 8,000 graduates for her leadership in key involvements and service to the university. After she graduated Cum Laude with a Film & Media Studies B.A., she worked for ICM, Scott Free and various shows. In 2022, she was featured in Ava DuVernay’s ARRAY Crew for Filipino American History Month for her work as a Showrunner’s Assistant on Amazon's Blade Runner 2099.

She is a 2021 Kundiman Asian American Poetry Fellow, an Individual Artist Fellow for the inaugural California Arts Council Fellowship, and a member of GRAMMY U (the Recording Academy’s community of emerging music creatives and professionals). She wrote and directed Morena, a magical realism short about the terrifying side effects of supernatural skin whitening cream. It opened Gold House and UTA’s Filipino/x American History Month Independent Filmmakers Showcase in October 2023 and premiered at the Los Angeles Asian Pacific Film Festival 2022. As a Producer for Film Independent’s 2021 Project Involve Cohort, she produced the award-winning shorts: Dear Mama... and The Mason Ring. Dear Mama… is currently available on The New Yorker and Short of the Week.

While waiting for her short for the 2025 Deutsche Bank Frieze Los Angeles Film Award and Ruya (a short about a T’boli dreamweaver) to premiere, she’s writing her first feature. She recently became a Script Coordinator for an upcoming Netflix thriller. When Dizon’s not working, she loves hiking, music production, baseball (Go Dodgers!), F1 and Duolingo (not sponsored…yet).
