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

Niceole R Levy = SWAT (CBS), Fate: The Winx Saga (Netflix), Marvel Cloak & Dagger amazing work. I want to one day (sooner than later) say "My vision came to life!"
As someone who highly prefers to create TV shows with lots and lots of storytelling rather than a draining movie series (/franchise), I really appreciate the advice and tips.
Our best to you and your work Kenrick!
@@filmcourage thank you! 😊
literally pressed like from the end of asking the first question, what a specific and amazingly helpful ask
Cheers!
"Moonlighting" - Various One-hour episodes and "thirtysomething" - Various One-hour episodes.
These Rock!
One of the best episodes I watched here. Thank you for sharing it.
Currently, I am enrolled at Fullsail University on a Digital Cinematography Degree, but my goal is to be a screenwriter. I want to be heard. I want people to know my name. I will join WGA, SAG-AFTRA. I will get involved with TIFF. I want to one day do a TED talk. I have written over 80 movie ideas that could be tv shows. I have Final Draft and currently writing the 80 I have into scripts. I am on mission to succeed becoming a writer for Hollywood.
Thank you so much
What are the Top 2 TV pilots every writer should watch?
Grey's Anatomy and Law & Order. Grey's know how to stay around and Law & Order knows how to expand based on their expansion shows.
Breaking Bad and Stranger Things!
Lost and Heroes
@@thestockimagequeen remember to just ignore the generic bully subplots which are such glonks in the head
Lost
The best way to open a show is to do it in a way that hooks the viewer in.
As much as people seem to hate violence, they love watching it on TV 📺
'The Corner', 'The Wire' and 'Power' proved that.
Not sure if HBO and Starz shows fall under "TV" but anything with violence and/or drugs seems to prosper 😉
