Nico Faustino

Nico Faustino is multi-cam TV and live director. He started directing professionally at the age of 22. Since then, he has been mastering his craft and adding a range of genres, as well as directing styles. He also does live stage directing and TV directing for beauty pageants, both locally and internationally. Recently he co-produced a number of advocacy films that have been shown in schools and other Filipino communities in Dubai and other Asian countries.

At the age of six, Nico Faustino was already exposed to the entertainment industry. His dad, Tats Faustino, would usually tag him along in the workplace—a space teeming with a variety of creative pursuits. “I remember being in awe every time I go backstage or in the director’s booth. Everything seemed so alive and busy,” he recalls. “At the time, I also remember saying to my parents that I wanted to become a director one day. Since then, they have been very supportive of me in my journey as I pursue a career in directing,” he continues.
