Nicky & Nick
It’s 2011 and something happened last weekend between college basketball players Nicky and Nick, but it was no big deal, like they’re cool now, no really, they’re good.
This short film was filmed in the Hudson Valley in Beacon, NY and funded by a grant from Awesomeness Poughkeepsie and our community via Seed&Spark.
Nicky and Nick is a proof of concept for a feature film of the same name. The short film is currently in post-production.
