Eva Vives height - How tall is Eva Vives?

Some of the themes observed in All About Nina were inspired by the abuse that Vives suffered at the hands of her father, for eight years, when she was a child. About this fact Vives declared: “The liberation happened already; that’s why I was able to write about it, because I didn’t have to create that much. She’s similar to how I was in my twenties”. “It was more empowering to write in the sense that I don’t really think about my father anymore. As Nina also says in the movie, he committed suicide years ago, so he was already not part of my life. For me, maybe it will be liberating soon enough…. We’ll see what happens when it comes out. It was empowering to at least have some say on how I told the story, because for so long he defined me, what he did to me or what he was how I had to live.”

In 2018, Vives received the Best LatinX Director Award from NALIP. In 2019 it was also announced that she is one of the recipients of the Sundance Momentum Fellowship.

She directed All About Nina, her first feature, in 2017—Starring Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Common.

She's the first woman writer and director to have attended the Sundance Film Festival with a film and participate in the Sundance Screenwriters' lab as well as the Directors' lab and Skywalker Sound and Music, all in the same year.

In New York at the beginning of Vives career was where she was able to make connections through her relationship with a comedian—this opened a door for her to create a network with several other comedians at the time. She took advantage of this by incorporating her knowledge and experiences with these Comedians into All About Nina.[1]

Vives co-wrote the 2002 film Raising Victor Vargas, for which she was nominated for an Independent Spirit Award for Best First Screenplay and for a Humanitas Prize. Sometime around 2002, Vives then directed the short film Me, Myself & I. Soon after sometime around 2008 she directed, Co-wrote, and produced a short film She Pedals Fast (For a Girl).
