The Ghost of Roger Ebert gives him "Four thumbs up."
A BFA graduate of the SUNY Purchase Dramatic Writing conservatory in 2012, Nich Esposito created and produced sketch comedy and short films in and around New York and Philadelphia through 2014.
He co-wrote "Vocabulary of the Mysteries," Audience Award winner at the 2014 Brooklyn Film Festival and Best Student Film Award winner at the Philadelphia Independent Film Festival. After moving to Los Angeles, he co-created, wrote, and produced the interactive cross-media "Makeson Drinxon Universe" comedy series from 2014-2018.
He made his short film directorial debut with "speaking." in October 2019. Beginning its festival run in late 2020, "speaking." went on to feature in over eighteen different film festivals and marketplaces including the Cannes Film Festival SFC 2021, winning nine awards and being nominated for many more along the way.
"speaking." ended its festival run with a screening at the world famous TCL Chinese Theatre for Hollywood Comedy Shorts Fest ‘22, while Esposito shifted focus to pitching new shows and features.
With animated short “A Street Dog Named Desire” serving as a proof of concept, Esposito is currently in-production on the pilot for adult animated series “City Don’t Sleep.”
