J Nicks Productions creates games, shows, films, and strange interactive ideas.
At J Nicks Productions, we believe the key to creating great content comes down to one thing. And once we figure out what it is, we'll really be in business.
In the meantime, we'll build, write, or produce anything and everything to keep you entertained. We throw a lot of spaghetti against the wall. And then when that's done, we get back to work.
Meet the Team
We're a small team of separate human beings, each playing a unique role. However, company policy dictates that we're never in the same place at the same time. This is for security reasons.
Jesse Nicholas
Founder & Creative Director
Our fearless leader - Jesse has been obsessed with learning and doing everything since graduating Boston College. Although the studio bears his moniker, his original name choices were, in order: 1. Coca-cola - already taken (soft drinks company) 2. Jose Altuve - already taken (professional baseball player) 3. Bluto's Bagel Emporium - available, but potentially misleading Jesse is irritating, uncharismatic, and lacking in all leadership qualities. Avoid if possible.
