Hot in Here Productions
Our name reflects our approach: we help organizations make things happen. Whether supporting a digital communications strategy, shaping narrative direction, assessing impact, or capturing and editing live events and speaker series, we focus on work that is thoughtful, effective, and built to last beyond a single moment or platform.
Founded by Peabody- and Emmy-winning documentary filmmaker Alexandra Nikolchev, Hot in Here Productions brings journalistic rigor, narrative clarity, and collaborative leadership to every project. Our work is grounded in substantive reporting, ethical storytelling, and strong visual language- supporting organizations that operate at the intersection of ideas, impact, and public life.
Organizations partner with Hot in Here Productions when they need more than content. We support projects from concept through impact, offering strategic guidance, content creation, and impact assessment across films, digital media, campaigns, and event-based storytelling. This work often includes developing visual and written content, as well as recording lectures, panels, and conferences and creating carefully edited cut-downs for outreach, education, and long-term use.
Hot in Here Productions collaborates with a trusted network of visual and narrative storytelling professionals and works closely with communications teams, researchers, and institutional leaders to ensure each project aligns with organizational goals while remaining editorially sound, accessible, and human.
