About Nick Ebeling:
Born in Los Angeles, Nick Ebeling is a filmmaker, artist, and writer. His first feature film, the critically acclaimed Along for the Ride – a documentary about Dennis Hopper through the eyes of his idiosyncratic right-hand man Satya de la Manitou, featuring a score by Gemma Thompson of Savages – was an Official Selection of the Venice Film Festival, and the Critics Selection of Il Cinema Ritrovato Festival of the Bologna Cineteca (which Huffington Post called “beautiful, powerful”). A book companion to the film was published by Hat & Beard Press in 2021, featuring an introduction from Los Angeles artist Ed Ruscha . Ebeling is also the co-creator of the underground cult comic book and soundtrack album Gunwolf (an instant sell-out upon initial release, which Juxtapoz called, “An eye-popping manga-style tour de force...”), and producer of two albums.
Most recently, Nick Ebeling’s late-1990s/early 2000s autobiographical adventures were detailed in his first novel, Earthquake Weather (Hat & Beard Press, 2023). Earthquake Weather is an L.A. noir-inspired novel set against an artist’s memories of being young at a point of personal change in a city on the precipice of a cultural tipping point. While writing, Ebeling revisited a side of L.A. that in many ways does not exist now in the way that he knew it then, but still evoked memories of being in art school. He took a 35mm camera on these outings, which captured a kind of visual diary that helped him reconnect with that time in his life. These images were the recent subject of a photography exhibition at These Days Gallery in Los Angeles.
A graduate of Art Center College of Design, Ebeling resides in Los Angeles, California.
