About Nick
I’m Nick Fiorella, a Colorado-based filmmaker and creative producer specializing in cinematic brand stories, product promos, narrative films, and 3D visuals.
Drawing from my background leading in-house video and photography for a national brand, I approach each project with a storyteller mindset, strong visual intention, and a focus on creating work that engages and entertains.
My Directing Approach.
Filmmaking is a team sport!
Directing both commercial and narrative projects is rooted in collaboration and thoughtful planning. I believe the strongest films are created when every voice on set feels heard, valued, and invested in the story we’re telling. Leveraging the collective creativity of the team consistently leads to better, more impactful results.
To ensure clarity and alignment, I storyboard each project so everyone understands the vision from the start. I prioritize regular team huddles to keep production moving smoothly and on track, and I invite open feedback throughout the editing process so ideas can continue to evolve.
This collaborative approach creates films that not only meet creative goals, but are projects everyone involved can feel proud of — because we built them together.
