Nick Mandrake

(Nick Mandrake is a 10-episode comedy web series I created as part of my Master’s Thesis at Cal State University, Los Angeles. I have always loved Film Noir, and I’ve always wanted to play an iconic hard boiled detective. Nick Mandrake isn’t exactly that, as he’s more of a sloppy drunken psychopath, but the project echoes Noir themes and tones and was a hell of a lot of fun to make.)

Nick Mandrake is a Private Eye and a public menace. With a gun he barely knows how to use, a bottle of whiskey which never seems to empty no matter how much he drinks, and a head full of bad memories.

And now, he’s here to teach YOU how to be a PI just like him! Followed closely by his good friend and camera man, Nick will teach you such valuable lessons as ‘Gun Safety’, ‘Stake-Outs’, ‘Talking To Ladies’ and ‘Covering Up A Murder.’

For the low, low price of FREE, you too can be a “successful” Private Eye.
