Nyle Cavazos Garcia, attended Boise State University under full scholarship, where he founded Small Town Pictures. Upon moving to New York, he worked in production on independent films for Lion's Gate, Good Machine and The Shooting Gallery. Nyle wrote and directed the critically acclaimed short film 'Humidity' and directed the Sundance Film Festival favorite 'The Support Group'. He then relocated to Los Angeles to direct his feature film debut 'Clean', which went on to win a bounty of top awards at various international film festivals, premiered on Starz! Encore and was released worldwide on DVD/PPV/VOD. Nyle continued to write and direct short films such as 'The Dark', 'Bleeding', 'Mary's Journal', 'Houston & 6th' and 'The Man with the Red Right Hand', all of which screened successfully at multiple film festivals and were released collectively as the horror/thriller anthology 'Dark Passenger: Volume 1'. As a screenwriter, Nyle's versatility has proved to be successful, and he has optioned more than a dozen feature film screenplays in a variety of genres. His horror screenplays 'Slasher Flick', 'Tag', 'Blood Pressure', 'The Absence of Light' and 'Olivia's Fingers' all won top screenwriting awards, as did his sports comedy 'The Fighting Irish', his LGBTQ+ rom-com 'Straight Up, Now Tell Me...' and his coming-of-age time travel fantasy 'The Zenith'. In 2025, Nyle's multi-award winning short horror film 'Last Ride' was distributed worldwide by Adler & Associates Entertainment, and he wrapped production on his feature film 'CATnip', a Christmas horror comedy film about killer cats starring Chevy Chase, Bruce Dern and Joey Lauren Adams.
