Mike Nicoll is a gritty, boundary-pushing Director committed to unmasking the incentives that dominate our institutions. Mike has directed 3 feature films, best known for writing & directing "THE SPOILS: Selling the Future of American Basketball" (2024) and "At All Costs" (2017) - a feature documentary acquired by Netflix and hailed as "a modern-day Hoop Dreams" by the LA Times.

"The Spoils" premiered globally in June 2024 and was an Official Selection at the NBA Summer League Film Festival - with legendary filmmaker Ken Burns praising it as essential "for everyone who loves the game and is concerned about the future of the sport." The film is available to stream on Amazon Prime. 

Mike’s new feature, “Bitcoin Season”, is a visionary film that enshrines - and ultimately forecasts - Bitcoin’s infiltration of America’s sports business. As legacy financial models wither in the digital age, "Bitcoin Season" heralds the emergence of the sovereign, ‘Bitcoin Athlete’ and signals a winning strategy for organizations (and individuals) to store the value they create in the marketplace.
