Documentary Storyteller · Producer · Former TV Journalist
Every person has a story. I love finding the ones that stay with us.
I'm Nichole Mischke — a documentary storyteller, producer, and former television journalist drawn to the stories that help us see one another differently.

Behind the stories
Not someone who talks about storytelling. Someone who does it.
Interviews, camera operation, gimbal work, multicamera production, on location — a curated look at how the work actually gets made.
UNCOVERED
An independent documentary platform I founded and built
Through UNCOVERED, I've independently produced around eighteen short documentaries — developing the stories, conducting in-depth interviews, filming, editing, and bringing finished films to audiences. Each one explores the experiences that make us human: vulnerability, resilience, shame, connection.

The person behind the camera
Six years in news taught me to listen. Leaving the newsroom taught me why.
I spent six years in television news learning to ask questions, listen closely, and recognize what matters. Eventually I left the newsroom to pursue the storytelling I felt most drawn to: deeply human stories that surprise us, challenge assumptions, and help us see one another more fully.
I founded UNCOVERED to explore those stories independently. Today, I bring the same approach to documentary projects, creative production, and my work at Gonzaga Preparatory School.

Whether you're developing a documentary, building a creative project, or looking for someone who knows how to find the human story at the heart of your work, I'd love to connect.
