"I took this class and I was like whoa - my mind was blown." Gabrielle, Producer/Actress
Join award-winning filmmaker Nicki Micheaux, founder and mentor for Elevate Creative Talents. ECT has a first look deal at Mansa (co-founded by David Oyelowo and Nate Parker), plus direct distribution relationships across streaming and theatrical.
In just 90 minutes
Attract investors and buyers so you can finally move your project forward
Your project gets taken seriously by buyers, reps, and investors
Your vision actually gets made, not stuck in post-production
No other online film program gives you this kind of direct, relationship-based access to distribution. This isn't theory. This is a working pipeline.
If you’ve ever felt stuck rewriting the same project or waiting on someone to give you a greenlight...this is your wake-up call.
You don’t need a miracle. You need a fundable package and a clear path.
How filmmakers are landing meetings with producers and investors...without a finished script or connections
(It’s not luck. It’s leverage. I’ll show you how to build it.)
• Why most projects never get made and what successful creatives do differently from day one
(It’s not just about talent. It’s about packaging and positioning.)
• Why you’re still sitting on the same project after 3 years, and how to finally break the cycle
(Spoiler: It’s not about rewriting. It’s about strategy.)
• What to include in a pitch deck and what’s just wasting your time
(You’ll see real-world examples that get results.)
• Do you really need a rep, producer, or star attached to raise money?
(Not if you follow this system.)
• How to get attention from studios and streamers without already being “in” the industry
…and more.
You’ll walk away with a clear understanding of what makes a project fundable and how to use my tools and systems to start getting real traction.
Your next breakthrough starts here.

I've signed a first look deal with Mansa, the free streaming platform co-founded by David Oyelowo (Selma) and Nate Parker (Birth of a Nation), built around bold, global stories and open to everyone who loves great film and TV.
Mansa is not just one lane. They program:
What this means for Elevate writers and filmmakers:
The distribution game is changing. Here's how we're putting that power directly in your hands.
Nicki Micheaux's online film school partners with On The Hiway, for revolutionary indie distirbution
Through Elevate Creative Talents, I’ve also partnered with On the Hiway, the next-generation independent film distribution platform founded by David Orman and Zach Rothwell — a 14-year industry veteran who has managed over 1,000 titles.
On The Hiway gives independent filmmakers direct control over distribution — from screeners to pay-per-view to direct-to-distributor delivery — without losing ownership of their work.
Movies & TV shows that I dreamed of bringing to the world. I made a pivot from acting 15 years ago to expand into writing and directing. That wasn't easy, there were many ups and downs.
We won tons of awards on the festival circuit. All that attention brought more acting work my way, I was offered (no audition required!) two feature films and just booked a new tv pilot.
DONNA is an actress/writer, but hadn't had any success getting her scripts read. After my class she pitched and attached a celebrity to her project and is heading towards meetings with studios.
PAJ, an actor and novelist turned his novel into a pilot and shot it independently after he learned the tools from my masterclass on how to do it.
ONAJI, a comic book creator, started with a huge idea of how to bring his comic books to life in a pitch deck. After working with me his story is strong, clear and he now has not only a pitch deck that can open doors, he's mastered the verbal pitch as well.
I'm telling you because you can do it too.
Success is possible.
You can break through the gatekeepers.
You don't have to keep get getting ghosted.
Watch how comic book writer and creator, Onaji, went from stuck to confidently pitching, packaging, and finally selling his work.
From finished script to celebrity attachment and studio meetings.
Now she feels confident in any room. Especially around investors
I’ve spent 30 years in this industry—on sets, in rooms, and at the table where deals get made. Now I help creatives like you turn big ideas into greenlit projects.
You do not have to wait to be chosen. You can become the person who builds momentum, creates options, and gets results. That starts in this webinar.
