Los Angeles and South Florida–based producer with 15+ years helping people and organizations tell their stories, collaborative from first discussion to final master.
At Planet TV Studios’ New Frontiers (host: William Shatner), I moved from Senior Producer to Head of Production. I plan episodes end-to-end: development and scripting, booking, field producing, and post supervision—owning timelines, budgets, and client/network communication.
Development and scripting; budgets and schedules; casting and talent; locations and permits; vendor management; field producing (single/multi-cam); interview direction; post supervision; deliverables, specs, and QC—producer who also edits for faster, cleaner finishes.
As founder, I produce brand and corporate content—from concept and crew to edit, mix, color, and delivery. Clear scopes, transparent pricing, and on-time releases across broadcast and digital.

Excerpt from the documentary series New Frontiers profiling innovators—interview-driven structure, concise narration, and broadcast polish.
“I had the privilege of working with Chris Nicholas when I brought him on board to produce and edit segments for the renowned show, New Frontiers, hosted by none other than the legendary William Shatner. From the moment Chris joined our team at Planet TV Studios, it was evident that his expertise would elevate the production value to unprecedented heights, leading to a remarkable influx of esteemed guests for the show.
Impressively, within a short span of time, Chris's remarkable skills and dedication led him to become a Senior Producer and soon after that he assumed the pivotal role of Head of Production. As such, he adeptly oversaw numerous projects, skillfully managing crews and effortlessly engaging with our esteemed clientele.
Chris's innate talent as a producer and editor is unparalleled, and it is with utmost enthusiasm and conviction that I wholeheartedly recommend him both personally and professionally. His remarkable contributions and unwavering commitment to excellence make him an invaluable asset to any team or project.”

“Worked together with Chris Nicholas on a project for El Paso Children's Hospital and Planet TV. He truly was a great leader working on this from afar and really helping to get our Planet TV spot to a great final product. .”
Audrey Garcia - Program Officer.
“Worked together with Chris Nicholas on a project for a client of them here in the Netherlands. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, they needed a local crew to film it for them. Chris was really easy to work with, as he was very specific to details with all that he needed from me, while allowing me to use my creativity as well. We spoke a few times on the phone and he provided me with all the documents that I needed for the production day (shotlist, call sheet etc..) I had a great experience working with Chris and Planet TV Studios.”
Sjors Ruijters — Videographer/Cinematographer.
“I had the pleasure of working with Chris when I was the debut EP/Show Runner on Criss Angel Mindfreak (A&E) and he was a Segment Producer. This demanding series required seg. producers to help lock down sophisticated location parameters, coordinate casting and guests, prep hazardous stunt shoots involving pyro, explosions, car crashes, underwater sequences, wild animals and wilder talent, while producing great TV in record time, under strained budgets. Chris rose to all of these challenges admirably. His level head and can-do work ethic helped make the series a success.”
