NICOLAS DI STEFANO

co-founder - director - writer

Long story short, I am absolutely addicted to the art of photography, filmmaking and the creative process that connects the two. You might consider me the creative mind behind most of the adventures and projects Lumenville Inc. takes on. I am the photographer, director, writer, cinematographer, and editor of the vast majority of our projects and I look forward to every step of the process. 

Over the years, I've worked in the photography and film field, honing my craft and developing my own personal style. I've come across a variety of projects that have broadened my horizon and helped develop a wide skillset that I can apply to any situation. I've worked on commercial and corporate photography projects, with up and coming musicians and dee-jays. While this has helped develop a very unique and stylized approach to my photography, I have balanced this with a more reserved, journalistic approach thanks to my exposure to event photography and engagement sessions. As you can see through our photography portfolio, my knowledge of the various types of photography and lighting allows for versatility and adaptability on set which always yields excellent results, regardless of the scope of the project. 

In regards to filmmaking, I've worked on five short films to date, three of which have been accepted and screened at local and international film festivals like the Maryland International Film Festival and the Toronto Independent Film Festival. The other two are still in the works, but we have very high hopes. We've also been a part of several client -based projects like those for Toronto recording artist, "Madhouse" as well as the Toronto based band, "Cygnus" to name a few.

As a co-founder of Lumenville Inc, we are always on the lookout for the next big project and can't wait to bring our talent to the table with whatever opportunities you may have to offer. Don't hesitate to contact me with any questions or inquiries.

Co-Founder - Cinematographer - writer

I spent a huge part of my childhood in front of the tv. Movies, cartoons, news, whatever it was, I’ve been captivated with story telling on screen for as long as I can remember.

Working as a camera assistant and secondary camera operator for major Canadian producers such as Cineflix, Discovery Canada, Blue Ant Media, and more, along with the countless hours of creative work with the Lumenville team, the drive to tell genuine entertaining stories on screen, is alive and well in me. 

As I continue to work with our team as one of the main cinematographers, writer and producer, I’m excited to see the amazing work we can get done with you!
