Nic Austin

Nic Austin is a recent graduate of New York University Tisch’s Cinema Studies program. He currently has his Master’s degree and writes cultural criticism and analysis while co-hosting a queer film podcast. Passion for cinema has been ingrained in Nic since he was a young child. His love for being transported into the worlds created in movies has created a strong bond that has only grown with time. That bond has culminated in a passion for critically analyzing cinema through hearty discussions and essay writing. Growing up, Nic was lucky to be raised in a supportive environment that fostered an understanding of sexuality and how it was displayed onscreen. His discovery and understanding of his queer identity were greatly enhanced through queer themes he experienced when watching films, and this early exploration has translated into a deep passion for promoting and advocating for diverse queer representation in all forms of media.
