On the sixty- first episode of All the Film Things, I had the pleasure of interviewing actress Nicole Alyse Nelson!

Nicole Alyse Nelson has been working in the industry, both behind and in front of the camera, for over a decade now. Upon moving to LA, she quickly began working on sets in various roles behind the scenes from doing script coverage to being production assistant and a boom operator. Nicole has appeared in films such as Love and Baseball and Deadly Daughter Switch as well as television shows including Glow and Swedish Dicks. Nicole’s first major role was as Dayton Reyes, the ride- or- die best friend to the titular character, on the Nickelodeon show I Am Frankie from 2017 to 2018, which continues to be beloved and regarded as underrated on the famous network.

Nicole’s recent project in which she plays Vagianna, the youngest of the three sisters, earned eight awards, including the Audience Award at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival. The acclaimed short went on to be nominated for Best Live Action Short at the Academy Awards this past March.

Nicole's latest project "Jane Austen's Period Drama", in which she plays the youngest of three sisters Vagianna, earned eight awards, including the Audience Award at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival. The acclaimed short went on to be nominated for Best Live Action Short at the Academy Awards this past March. You can watch this hilariously clever short now on YouTube by clicking here! Also, keep up with Nicole by following her on Instagram @TheNicoleNelson!

In this episode, Nicole shares insight into her acting process, the challenges she's faced while transitioning into adult roles after starring on a Nickelodeon show, and how the dress she wore to the Oscars was unintentionally aligned with "Jane Austen's Period Drama". All this and much more on the latest episode of All the Film Things!
