From the first conversation to the final frame.
A look behind the scenes of my documentary and video production work, from interviews and camera operation to filming on location and bringing the pieces of a story together.
Based in Spokane, Washington, I'm Nichole Mischke, a documentary filmmaker, editorial producer, creative director, and founder of UNCOVERED, an independent documentary storytelling platform.
After six years in television news at KHQ, I've independently produced approximately eighteen short documentaries. My work spans interviews, story development, filming, producing, and editing, with interviewing people and earning their trust at its heart.
I also create storytelling content for nonprofits, educational institutions, and other clients. Today, I work in events and storytelling at Gonzaga Preparatory School.
