New Production Truck Consolidates Tools Required For Film Shoots in Nevada – and Beyond
Karl Nickoley knows something about shooting and producing shows for television, film or commercials. He worked in Los Angeles for many years and moved to Las Vegas about seven years ago.
Working on many movie sets, he knew there was an opportunity to consolidate the needs of many production departments into one LARGE truck, as opposed to 10 separate trucks. With a solid business plan and help from Bank of Nevada, Karl and his company, OnLocation Production, has brought his dream to reality.
