NO WEATHER are Emmy-nominated filmmakers Michael Beach Nichols (director / EP) and Christopher K. Walker (editor). Both hailing from south Florida, the pair met in NYC in 2009 at the storied documentary production company Blowback Productions. A shared love of immersive vérité and evocative atmospherics in service to a genre approach to nonfiction storytelling has bonded them in their 15+ year collaboration. Their work strives for the unexpected; embracing the dark, strange and beautiful with compassion and zero sensationalism. In a media landscape that prioritizes algorithms and clickbait, they pour everything into every project, aiming to make work that feels new and unforgettable.
In 2025 Michael directed and produced and Christopher edited the hit true crime ABC News / Hulu series MR & MRS MURDER. The year before that Michael directed and produced and Christopher edited and produced Hulu’s biggest docuseries ever, PERFECT WIFE: THE MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE OF SHERRI PAPINI, with renowned filmmaker and frequent collaborator Erin Lee Carr onboard as an EP. The series was such a massive hit that it received an ABC broadcast run in early 2025, a first for any Hulu docuseries. Both series were scored by the acclaimed Baltimore-based artist Dan Deacon.
NO WEATHER was founded in 2013 with the release of their smash Tribeca Film Festival hit FLEX IS KINGS. They went on to direct and produce the universally acclaimed WELCOME TO LEITH in 2015, which received an Emmy nomination for Best Documentary after bowing at Sundance and SXSW. In 2016 they produced and lensed the debut feature by filmmakers Anthony Caronna and Alex Smith, SUSANNE BARTSCH: ON TOP, which welcomed the legendary RuPaul as an EP. For their fourth feature, WRINKLES THE CLOWN, the collaborative partnered with Oscar-winning Topic Studios and Magnolia Pictures for a genre-bending and proudly polarizing horror/comedy.
To date, their projects have screened at over 60 international film festivals, including Sundance, SXSW, Tribeca, Fantastic Fest, IDFA, and Hot Docs. They’ve aired on HBO, PBS, FX, and ABC, streamed on Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon, and have been optioned for narrative development by Blumhouse and Universal. Their short films have been Vimeo Staff Pick-ed and featured in The New York Times, The Atlantic, Dazed, and Short of the Week. NO WEATHER are based in NYC and Kingston, NY.
