Director Biography - Nyx Mian

Nyx was born and raised in Lahore, Pakistan, moving to Canada at the young age of four and residing there for more than two decades. In their teens, they thought they wanted to be a computer programmer and went to Sheridan College to study it. They ended up not being as passionate as they thought, so they decided to work for the remainder of their life, working their way up through the kitchen. Nyx has multiple years in the kitchen, front of the house, and back, and they're even liquor licensed. During COVID, they wanted to do something more in their life, so they sought help from a professional life coach, who sparked the joys of high school, which was being a lighting technician for drama plays. When speaking to Nyx's brother, Murtaza gave them the idea of moving into filmmaking. Ever since Nyx's brother gave them that idea, they've been moving to make that dream a reality. Directing their first Documentary “More Than a Disorder” in 2022, Nyx has never felt this passion before, and they are only just getting started.
