On the importance of making cool films for young women Nadia Litz said: "As a young woman, films like Sofia Coppola's The Virgin Suicides and Lynne Ramsay's Morvern Callar meant a great deal to me. They were spellbinding like other films I was discovering at the time by directors like David Lynch and Jim Jarmusch. But they were female-centric. I felt like they spoke directly to me as a young woman in a way that I craved growing up.".
A champion high school debater while attending St. Johns's Ravenscourt, Litz was once judged in a national debate competition by Justin Trudeau who went on to become the Prime Minister of Canada.
After being a successful actress in Canada for several years she was "discovered' by Danish auteur Nicholas Windig Refn at a party celebrating experimental director Guy Maddin. Refn was shooting his film fear X and fired someone he had already cast and replaced them with Litz, casting her as a waitress in a scene opposite John Turturro because she looked like Icelandic singer Bjork.
While visiting Winnipeg, Nadia was eating dinner with her Mom, when she approached by director Nicholas Windig Refn who, not realizing she was an actress, asked her to be in his movie Fear X.
While in university, Nadia interned at entrepreneur Ron Dembo's sustainability firm Zerofootprint, a cleantech software and services company and Fashion Television alongside Brother Vellies designer Aurora Brown.
