THE THRIVE - A MOTIVATIONAL WINDSURFING SHORT FILM
In my latest short film “The Thrive” Nico Prien, a German windsurfing pro, explains his path of success and emphasizes the importance of passion as the most crucial part of being successful and fulfilled.
The short film “The Thrive” stands for passion and shows what makes us thrive. Ever since Nico started Windsurfing as a kid, that’s what gives him the most in life. For myself it’s the filmmaking process which I use as a tool to express my emotions.

It must have been around age 13 when my dad handed me his old video camera. As we went on vacation a couple of days later, I decided to bring the camera and create a little film of our trip. Obviously it didn’t take me long and I fell in love with the filmmaking process.
Since then I completely focused on filmmaking and graduated a couple of years later in Design & Film. Having quite some experience through education and movie making I started working for a film production company based in Cologne, Germany as a camera operator and editor. Since then my life changed completely. Now living in Cologne, being 21 years old and working fulltime as a freelance videographer, I am traveling all aorund the place working mainly on sport events, festivals, documentaries and passion projects.
