    After growing up near China Lake Naval Weapons Center in the middle of the Mojave Desert, Niceole escaped to the bright lights of Los Angeles. While studying acting at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts, she realized her true love was writing stories, not playing them out. She worked as a police dispatcher to pay her way through USC undergrad and then completed the Master of Professional Writing program, also at USC. An alum of the CBS Writers Mentoring Program, NBC's Writers on the Verge, and the WGAW Showrunner Training Program, Niceole has written on “Ironside,” “Allegiance,” “The Mysteries of Laura,” “Shades of Blue,” "Cloak & Dagger," “Fate: the Winx Saga,” “S.W.A.T,” and “Graymail.” She also co-wrote a feature, "The Banker," with former “Allegiance” showrunner and director George Nolfi, available on AppleTV+, and is now writing “Spark,” a film inspired by the life of Claudette Colvin. Niceole is currently a co-executive producer on an upcoming Netflix series and has several TV and feature projects in development. Her first book, “The Writers’ Room Survival Guide,” will be released in October of this year.

    Stuff we use:
    LENS - Most people ask us what camera we use, no one ever asks about the lens which filmmakers always tell us is more important. This lens was a big investment for us and one we wish we could have made sooner. Started using this lens at the end of 2013 - amzn.to/2tbtmOq
    AUDIO
    Rode VideoMic Pro - The Rode mic helps us capture our backup audio. It also helps us sync up our audio in post amzn.to/2t1n2hx
    Audio Recorder - If we had to do it all over again, this is probably the first item we would have bought - amzn.to/2tbFlM9
    LIGHTS - Although we like to use as much natural light as we can, we often enhance the lighting with this small portable light. We have two of them and they have saved us a number of times - amzn.to/2u5UnHv
    COMPUTER - Our favorite computer, we each have one and have used various models since 2010 - amzn.to/2t1M67Z
    EDITING - We upgraded our editing suite this year and we’re glad we did! This has improved our workflow and the quality of our work. Having new software also helps when we have a problem, it’s easy to search and find a solution - goo.gl/56LnpM

    Can you talk to somebody about if there are shows or films still being made that are the work of an individual writer? If Writers Rooms are the only system in use now I'm just avoiding the industry.

    Breaking Bad and Andor are some of the best TV shows I have seen.

    We all know why writers are hired these days. Its the same reasom why streaming companies are losing billions, no one watches award shows anymore, cinema lost 50% of it´s customers, the few sucesses at the box offices and at the streaming services have a decidedly old school feel and Hollywood is burning to the ground. Never in the history of the movie industry have so many beloved stories, myths, franchises, histories, novels and tomes been ruined by so few people. These egotistical activists, thinly, oh so, very thinly disguised as writers are the bookburners of the modern age.
    And the Juggernaut keeps accelerate towards the cliffs. The situation is quite hopeless and no one seems to care within the industry.
    I expect that this year the cinema will lose another 15% customers, award shows will score record lows (again), the movie industry and streaming companies will implode further and the last writers remaining will be entirely replaced by the talentless ideologues.

      This is what happens when you hire someone based on the color of their skin instead of their talent that is the reason why the film industry is headed downhill and it shows in the scripts these people write

    TV is dying because the writers aren’t hired based on merit anymore.

    Film was beautiful, exciting, and inspiring. Then equity moved in and it all went to crap. A magnificent industry is dead!! Woke kills everything!!!

    "It helps that I was black woman". Nothing privileged and racist about that!!!

    • @sincereiam
      @sincereiam Год назад +4

      You took what she said out of context. She said because she is a black woman she can talk about our experiences and struggle honestly.
      Yet you found that “privilege and racist.”
      Due to your privilege of being part or the dominant race, you will never understand what “WE” deal with when trying to advance in this way man's world.
      Your comment speaks volumes about your character.
