ABOUT NICHOLAS DUCASSI
I\'m an inventive and playful creative producer, writer and social strategist with over a decade of experience developing and producing digital, short-form and branded content for Netflix, HBO, The Los Angeles Times and more. I love big ideas, crave challenges and have a knack for creating fun, funny and smart content that stops thumbs and sparks conversation. Whether I’m working with a million-dollar budget or twenty dollars and a Cuban sandwich, I always find a way to exceed expectations while delivering on time and under budget — to the tune of over 200 million video views.
