NYAMBE NICHOLE
Writer • Filmmaker • Producer • Playwright
Founder, Nyambe Nichole Productions
Nyambe Nichole is a Detroit-based writer, filmmaker, producer, and playwright whose storytelling journey began on the stage.
Her creative journey started in 2013 with her first stage play, Don’t Go to Hell from the Church. It was the beginning of a passion for telling stories that explore real people, complicated relationships, faith, family, choices, and the consequences that can follow them.
In 2015, Nyambe wrote and produced Call Me Daddy, continuing to develop her voice as a playwright and storyteller. A decade later, the production reached a special milestone when Call Me Daddy celebrated its 10th anniversary in 2025. Then came Dear Future Husband in 2018.
Originally created for the stage, Dear Future Husband would eventually become the inspiration for Nyambe's transition into filmmaking. What began as a theatrical story opened the door to a new creative medium and a much larger vision.
FROM STAGE TO SCREEN
Nyambe took the storytelling skills she developed in theater—character, dialogue, emotion, pacing, and live production—and carried them into independent film.
She founded Nyambe Nichole Productions and adapted Dear Future Husband for the screen. The feature film was released in 2021 and went on to win Best Film and Best Screenplay at the 2022 Detroit Filmmaker Awards, marking an important milestone in her evolution from playwright to filmmaker.
She continued building her film catalog with projects including Deadly Desires, Blind Trust, and Eye for Eye, creating stories that explore everything from love and betrayal to family, secrets, revenge, faith, and redemption.
In 2026, Eye for Eye brought another chapter of Nyambe's journey full circle.
The film became the first official production collaboration between Nyambe Nichole Productions and her daughter Iceis Boyer's So Icey Productions. Written by Nyambe and directed by Iceis, the film represented something bigger than another project—it represented the beginning of a filmmaking legacy shared between mother and daughter.
For Nyambe, storytelling has never been about waiting for someone else to give her permission to create.
It began with a stage.
Then came a camera.
And eventually, another generation picked up the pen.
