Nicole Films

Filmmaker Nicole Franklin (aka The Black Film Pirate) has spent 30 years in the film and television industry. A disturbing “truth” emerged from her early industry encounters and it continued to fester for decades to come. What was the problem? The type of films she was told that would NOT sell to a global market. In her quest to prove audiences would be open to more of a variety than Hollywood was ready to offer, Nicole relocated to NYC in the late ‘90s and ended up thriving in the indie film community as an award-winning creative with a large network of resourceful, talented and influential colleagues. Where would Nicole’s more than 10 films that she directed ultimately receive notoriety and invites to distribution? In numerous film festivals and film markets with notable buzz, but even more important for this creative--festivals that are welcoming and affordable to the public.
And so the story goes…. Cheers to content that would cause Hollywood to hesitate, but the boldest of festival curators, and most curious of filmgoers, to champion.
