About
Nicholas Erickson
A Los Angeles-based producer at the intersection of prestige cinema, global brand storytelling, and entertainment finance. 12 years delivering high-caliber film and branded content.

My career started on set as a PA, and I've built it from the ground up into a practice spanning feature film, branded content, live events, and entertainment finance. I thrive in environments that demand leadership across creative, financial, and operational lines.


In 2023, I co-founded Giant Leap Media Ventures, independently building and raising $2.5M for an SEC-regulated film fund and greenlighting six feature film investments in 12 months. I also recently founded the Giant Leap Impact Fund, a non-profit dedicated to advancing DEI and social justice storytelling in film.


I'm active in the AI space, currently advising RollCredits, an AI-powered accounting platform whose clients include Amazon Studios and MrBeast. I'm also building consumer apps and tools with AI through my company, Airgate LLC.


Outside of work you'll find me at the beach playing volleyball, camping, or finding a quiet spot to meditate. I'm originally from Maine and live in Los Angeles with my calico cat, Yuki.
