Michelle A. Daniel is an award-winning executive producer and screenwriter with over 17 years of experience in independent film and digital storytelling. As the founder of ShowRunHer, she has developed content that challenges dominant narratives, amplifies underrepresented voices, and inspires meaningful dialogue. Her work centers stories that reflect cultural truth, emotional complexity, and social impact.
She has served as Director of Video at TV One's iOne Digital (2018–2019), producing branded content and original series for campaigns with AT&T, Ford, and Wells Fargo. Michelle is the Co-Executive Producer of Announcements, written and directed by D'Angelo "D'Lo" Louis (Creed III, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever) — a gripping short film tackling youth violence and the healing power of community.
She is also the Executive Producer of 8:38 — where a young woman wakes up trapped in a house with no memory of how she got there — and Mercy, a psychological drama following a trauma survivor whose experimental healing procedure slowly erases her sense of agency and self. Both projects reflect her commitment to stories that explore mental health, memory, and identity through a socially conscious lens.
Her earlier credits include Between Women (2011–2017), a long-running TV series, and Young & Married (2018), a TV mini series. Her short film I Am Not Charlotte was recognized at the American Black Film Festival (ABFF) 2018 and earned a Bronze Lens Award.
Michelle is currently producing Knock Knock, a psychological thriller short film under Seedfield Studios, with Executive Producers Yani Simone, Erick McGee, and George Cartwright — documenting the entire fundraising journey as a live case study for the ShowRunHer community.
