Born and raised in Baltimore, MD, Nia has been a writer since the day her mother first put a pencil in her hand. Although writing has always been Niaâs passion, her motherâs emphasis on education led Nia to become an elementary school teacher. She has taught children for more than twenty years and raised her own two children along the way. However, Niaâs passion for storytelling cannot be quenched.
After years of writing for national magazines, completing two anthologies of poetry, writing childrenâs stories, drafting a novel, writing short stories, short films, and completing two feature film scripts, Nia made the bold move to Los Angeles in 2005, to pursue the dream of reaching global audiences with her writing.
reated in 2006, the short film Temporary Loss of Power, which explores the human dynamic of gender, race, and power, was her first foray into filmmaking. Then, in 2007 Nia worked on a short sci-fi film, called F*ck you, Pay Me, with indie writer-director Chris Derrick. Since then, Nia has been writing, and planning projects for her own independent production company, Audaz Entertainment.
In 2008, Nia received a surprise birthday present in the announcement of her being matched with her requested mentor, Catherine Hardwicke through the Women In Film Mentor Program. Since Ms. Hardwickeâs film Thirteen, Nia has been following Catherine as a source of inspiration for her own filmmaking career.
Under the banner of Audaz Entertainment, in April 2009, Nia hosted the 1st Annual Muslim Artists Expo in Baltimore, MD to feature the work of graphic artists, photographers, spoken word artists, and musicians. In the same month, Niaâs script, Chrysalis, a feature-length, crime drama, was selected as a Quarter-Finalist in the 13th Annual Fade In Awards. It received high marks for the premise, structure, characterization, dialogue, and overall storytelling.
That same year, Nia also worked as Associate Producer on the indie documentary, Deen Tight, a film that explores the world of Hip-Hop and Islam. Nia is currently shooting a documentary in both L.A. and her hometown, Baltimore, Maryland. Not Your Average tells the story of her venture into filmmaking as an African-American, Muslim Woman.
Nia is currently in post-production of her original series, Vengeful, the first police detective series led by a Black woman, since 1974âs Get Christie Love. Nia is also the mother of two college students with special needs, including her son with Autism.
Embracing the storytelling passion and filmmaking vision of Nia Malika Dixon, the partners and executive staff of Audaz Entertainment have come together for the distinct purpose of creating quality, compelling, diverse & inclusive, motion pictures for worldwide exhibition.âââ

Kelsea's original pilot, DOUBLE NEGATIVE, placed in the semifinals for both the 2019 Austin Film Festival Drama Teleplay competition and the 2019 CineStory TV Retreat & Fellowship, as well as the quarterfinals in the 2021 Screencraft TV Pilot Script Competition.

This week on #beatsheetpod, we have Sylvia L. Jones on the beat!
Sylvia L. Jones has been an eyewitness to history again and again. The former journalist spent more than 20 years chasing the news -- reporting on monumental events including Nelson Mandela's first visit to Chicago following his release from prison, the 9/11 terror attacks from ground zero and President Barack Obama's historic elections.
Now, she has moved on to her next chapter. In the midst of traveling the nation to cover the 2016 presidential primary elections, Sylvia decided to turn in her press credentials and try her hand in Hollywood.
Never one to waste words or time, Sylvia hit the ground running. The Chicago native leveraged her comprehensive knowledge of the city's politics and neighborhoods to help launch Showtime's "THE CHI" and USA's Suits spinoff, "PEARSON." She also developed and wrote the biopic, "THE CLARK SISTERS: FIRST LADIES OF GOSPEL," executive produced by Queen Latifah, Missy Elliott and Mary J. Blige, which aired on Lifetime. Additionally, Sylvia has earned writing and producing credits on the CBS All Access thriller, "TELL ME A STORY" Ava DuVernayâs romance anthology series, "CHERISH THE DAY" on OWN and Starz's "POWER BOOK IV: FORCE," the spinoff that features "Tommy."
Sylvia's vast experience covering local and national news has set her in close proximity with a wide array of people and has offered her a deep well of prototypes from which to draw traits. As a result, she gives voice to characters who feel real and down-to-earth -- even when their storylines are out of this world.
Sylvia earned her Bachelor of Arts degrees in Psychology and Communications at Stanford University and her Master of Science in Journalism at Northwestern University. She completed the Professional Program in Writing for Television at UCLA as well as the Producers Guild of Americaâs Power of Diversity Master Workshop. Sylvia splits her time between Los Angeles and Chicago. She most enjoys sleeping, aisle seats and sweet potato pie.

This week, Iâm talking about how I come up with new writing ideas. This is really ironic because Iâm currently suffering through outlining a feature film and itâs not going well at all. But listen, the struggle was not coming up with the idea- I have plenty of those. Itâs just at this moment, the execution part is keeping me on the struggle bus. So, letâs talk about what Iâm not failing at and that would be coming up with ideas. I have seven touchpoints, but I donât use all of these all of the time, and I probably would add more if I had more time, but I told you that Iâm already struggling writing this film, so letâs go already!

Today, we're talking about pitches. Listen, I'm on my working my way up to becoming a pitch guru, a pitch master, a pitch goddess if you will- but right now, I'm still a regular degular pitch maker who's had to practice a couple of times in front of her professors and I would like to be of a little help. So, without further ado, let's talk about 3 ways to keep people awake during your pitch.

I know last time I shared my favorite TV shows of all time, but this week is all about the films. I know some people prefer films over TV shows because the story ends in one sitting.
I just want to clarify- I'm not saying that these are the best films of all time, they're simply my personal favorites. In no particular order. So, without, further ado- here are my favorite films of all time.
