Bio

Nina Rice is an Irish UK based Production Sound Mixer. Nina studied Sound Recording at The National Film & Television School.

After Graduating, Nina became a trainee on BBC drama, then sound assisted on Netflix' ‘The Crown’. She worked her way up the ladder working on various productions with several mixers over the course of her career. Nina was fortunate to be trained by one of the leading drama industry Production Sound Mixers, Chris Ashworth

In 2020 Nina was scouted by the first and only female crew agency RA (Reel Angels) founded by Lulu Elliott to specifically represent women in these technical roles. Lulu placed Nina on her very first mixing job, to which astonishingly led Nina to win the prestigious Royal Television Society Award, for Best Drama Sound In 2022 for her work on Sister Pictures drama ‘This is Going to Hurt’. Since cutting her teeth in drama, Nina has now mixed 5 features including the mega summer blockbuster ‘Barbie’ which was co-produced by Margot Robbie's production company Luckychap. Followed swiftly with a second Luckychap Production was ‘Saltburn’ which was directed by Emerald Fennell, who happened to be one of the Barbies!

Nina is the UK’s leading feature female sound mixer, as there are only a handful here, but on one has yet to break the glass ceiling in major motion pictures like Nina has. Who is now on the contenders list with not one but two films, to be potentially the first female Production Sound Mixer to win an Oscar in history!

Nina is very passionate to actively lead by example but also to be involved in any talks, workshops to empower more women to follow her steps. Working closely alongside RA Agency to make sure the gender balance is addressed, which is very much needed still in 2023/4.
