ABOUT.

The Man. The Myth. The Lightstand.

I am Nick Caldwell! Although, if you made it this far without learning that, you're kind of impressive but for all the wrong reasons.

See that picture over there? Yeah, that's my ultra-serious, no-nonsense, angry-gaffer work face. Scary, huh? Rest-assured, "Baby Shark" is playing on repeat in my head. And now it's in yours, too. It can be tough when your "deep-in-thought" face can frighten small children, but I make it work.

Seriously, I have fun on set. Our industry is full of creativity and puzzle-solving and rewarding work that makes you laugh, cry, and sweat all at once. I do what I love, and I love what I do. I'm always eager to learn, and to teach, and to help with creating something magical.

I also do other things!

I've been a singer and musician for over 20 years.

Board Games and Karaoke Nights are a Nick Caldwell's natural habitat.

I have a wonderful girlfriend who painstakingly built this website from scratch.

And I'm a writer! C'mon, you knew this one was coming. Everybody's a writer.
