Nevada Maier

Upon high school graduation, I plan to study film and television, with a focus on becoming a director and storyteller.

I have a passion for all things cinema related, having made numerous stop motion shorts for my own enjoyment

I have made written, directed, produced and edited two short films, in 2021 and 2023, titled The Goof and The Goof 2

I trademarked my own production company, which I used for The Goof and The Goof 2, called Past 9 Productions

This is where I envision my future, being a film maker, a storyteller, a creator of entertainment for all to enjoy on the big screen.

I've learned to collaborate with others, and to push myself creatively and not be afraid to show my work to others.

I was born with CHD, congenital heart disease. I've had 3 open heart surgeries, numerous other procedures and hospitalizations. Through it all, I've managed to stay positive, upbeat, forward thinking and resilient. Every hurdle I've faced head on and ready to push through with perseverance and hope. It's been a long road of ups and downs, setbacks and strides forward. My experiences have made me stronger, both mentally and physically. I've gained mental and coping skills, that I believe are my strengths. I've been through so much medically, more than most, in my short life span of 18 years, but it truly is my superpower. I've learned to take each day as a miracle and I don't sweat the small stuff. Although I've had my three open heart surgeries, I am healthy, and I'm functioning without heart medications; I am able to work as hard as anyone, especially as it pertains to film because it is my passion.
