Nick Houy, also known as Nicholas G. Houy (born June 1982), is an American film editor and producer best known for his collaborations with director Greta Gerwig, including Lady Bird (2017), Little Women (2019), and Barbie (2023). Raised in Colorado Springs and later Boulder, Colorado, he developed an early passion for filmmaking—creating Super‑8 shorts as a teenager and studying film at the University of Colorado Boulder, where he graduated in 2004 with a BFA in Film Production. Following college, he relocated to New York City. He began working in film production as a production assistant before moving into roles as a post‑production assistant. By the early 2010s, he was editing independent films such as Fairhaven(2012), Beside Still Waters (2013), and Manhattan Romance (2014). His breakthrough in prestige television came with the HBO miniseries The Night Of (2016), for which he won the 2017 Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Single‑Camera Picture Editing for a Limited Series or Movie. Houy’s editing on Lady Bird (2017) was the result of a recommendation from fellow editor Jennifer Lame, and his work was widely praised for shaping the emotional rhythm and narrative flow of the film. He continued his collaboration with Gerwig as lead editor of Little Women (2019), earning a nomination from the Chicago Film Critics Association for Best Editing. In the years since, Houy has edited a number of high‑profile projects, including Jonah Hill’s skateboarding coming‑of‑age film Mid90s (2018), the documentary Stutz (2022), and the global hit Barbie (2023). His work on Barbie earned him an ACE Eddie Award nomination for Best Edited Feature Film – Comedy (Theatrical) at the 2024 American Cinema Editors awards. He was also a Critics’ Choice Award nominee for film editing in the same year.
