NICOLE GIROUX

Writer / Director

Raised in Paris in a family devoted to the arts, Nicole grew up surrounded by film and music. She appeared in a major feature in France as a child, acted in off-Broadway plays in New York and Toronto and honed her craft as a writer earning an MFA in the Dramatic Writing Program at NYU. That path led her to create The Piano Tuner, inspired by a story shared with her that quietly took root and grew into something more. It became the seed for a film about a woman who awakens to her freedom through a subtle spark of connection with another person — a moment shaped by empathy and sound. Nicole writes about the human desire for deep love and acceptance. At its heart, the film reflects how a fleeting exchange can transform a life forever.
