- Nick has been unloading his geek-related brain matter for 18 years across various platforms, with his first ever film review being for "Batman Begins," which he still believes is the best Batman film ever.
- His first-ever interview was with Andy Samberg for "Hot Rod," where they both expressed their love for living legend, Ian McShane.
- Prior to writing for Static Media, Nick's career-changing moment was being sent to the "Alien: Covenant" set and being jumped by an actual face hugger.
Experience
Having studied film and television for three years, Nick spent a long time writing about what he loved for Moviepilot, Screen Rant, Dexerto, and Jumpcut as a side hustle. Eventually, he took the plunge as a freelancer and joined Looper in 2022 and then SlashFilm in 2024, where he could finally apply his secret talent of 'punmanship' to those who need it.
Education
Nick has a B.A. in media film and television also involved focusing on European and British cinema, as well as mainstream television.
