Nicole Ayers' Grandmother bought her a video camera at the age of 15.  From  then, she realized that she was destined to become a movie director.   She  wrote her first screenplay when she was in the 9th grade.   Nicole began her production experience by capturing the drama behind school events
while in high school.

 At age 17, she attended The Art Institute of Philadelphia, majoring in video production. While at The Art Institute, Nicole wrote and directed  many short videos and films, including "The Stalker", "World So Cold" and  "Thriller 2001". She accidentally set her Grandmother's bedroom floor on  fire while filming one of her videos. Nicole became an intern at Philly
 VTV in Philadelphia and Omni 2000, Inc. in New Jersey before gaining her  degree. Upon graduating, Nicole became a Camera Operator for the athletic department at Community College of Philadelphia. She has also done freelance videography shooting educational events as well as local and international political leaders.
 
While working as a freelance editor and videographer, Nicole continued to work on screenplays. She started her own entertainment company after completing the screenplay, titled "Coed".

Her short movie, "Lapse of Fascia" is the first of many independent productions under the Madlab Entertainment label. She has recently completed the one minute short, "Lighten Up". "Decades from now, I want people to remember me as the independent filmmaker who is driven and
 determined to reach her goals. They should see how much I fight for every chance to finish a film, no matter what. I want them to love my movies.

They must love the stories", says Nicole. She currently works as a freelance editor for JAW Studios while continuing to make independent films. Nicole also heads an Anti-Piracy campaign for Madlab Entertainment.
