Nick Leisure Returns!

Take a walk with me down Fascination Street as I get to know even more about Nick Leisure. Nick is a writer, director, and producer of several films, including one that is coming out THIS WEEK! In this episode, Nick and I catch up on things since his last appearance on the show (9/19/22). We chat about his newest feature film called GOLDEN, which hits theaters nationwide this Friday. Golden stars: Brian Austin Green, Glenn Plummer, Massi Furlan, Robert Miano, Alena Savostakova, and Josh Gilmer. Nick wrote, produced, and directed this film and it is distributed by Level 33 Entertainment. I do ask Nick about his feature project, which is a bio pic about Raymond “Shrimp Boy” Chow, a real-life Chinese Mafia story that took place in San Francisco. We also discuss a project that I pitched to him on his first appearance, the life story of Richard Stanley, a California bank robber and previous guest of the show! Nick shares fun behind the scenes stories involving the Mexican Police, an attempted shake down, and Skittles. We also discuss a couple of his upcoming films including ‘New Year’s Absolution’ (out later this year), as well as ‘The Last Bride’ which stars previous guest Charlotte Kirk (slated for the end of 2026, early 2027). Finally, Nick shares some breaking news about his 20-picture producing deal with media giant PalmStar Media and Kevin Scott Frakes. Also, BONUS….. Nick is giving away tickets to the red-carpet Hollywood premier of GOLDEN! Nick himself explains the details on how to win them in the episode; so, pay attention!

Nick Leisure
Take a walk with me down Fascination Street as I get to know Nick Leisure.
Born and raised in Sacramento, Ca. Nick is a screenwriter, producer, and director. In this episode, we chat about growing up in Sacramento in his stern Asian grandparents’ home, stumbling into the hip hop recording business, and breaking into the film and television industry. Nick tells us about a project that he was / is working on about Raymond “Shrimp Boy” Chow (a Hong Kong born felon with ties to San Francisco Chinatown street gangs: Triad Ho Wop To, The Hop Sing Boys, and Ghee Kung Tong. He also tells us about his being on the scene of “The largest hostage rescue operation in US history”, and why he wrote and directed a movie called A CLEAR SHOT in 2019 based on this event. Then we move right into his latest film called LAST THE NIGHT starring Brian Austin Green. We discuss what the film is about, why he chose to tell this story, and what makes it timelessly relevant. Lastly, I pitch Nick a film idea based on the life story of a previous guest!
