Director Benh Zeitlin immediately saw the special quality in Nazie that others had seen. He chose her from among 4.000 others who had auditioned for the role of Hushpuppy. It was Nazie's first acting role and Zeitlin's first full-length film. In the film, Nazie plays a courageous little girl. She tries to save her dying father and her neighbors. Audiences fell in love with Beasts and especially with its young star. The film won awards at Utah's 2012 Sundance Film Festival and France's Cannes Film Festival. Zeithlin was pleasantly shocked, but the praise didn't stop there.
The film continued to receive many more awards. In addition, it received four Academy Award nominations, including one for Best Actress. The nomination made 9-year-old Quvenzhane the youngest actress to ever be considered. Even though she didn't win, movie offers still came pouring in. Audiences got just a taste of Quvenzhane's talent as Hushpuppy. And now they are anxious to see more from this talented, young actress.
