HI, I'M  
NICK LAROVERE
I help filmmakers improve their storytelling craft, make their next film better, and set goals and achieve them.

I'm a filmmaker myself, so this site is home to my personal portfolio as well as the filmmaking community Storyteller. I like to say...

JOIN A COMMUNITY + MAKE GREAT FILMS + FORGE YOUR OWN PATH
I share content every week in the Storyteller newsletter to provide motivation, encouragement, time-management / goal-setting skills, and practical tips on how to become a better filmmaker and improve your storytelling craft. If that's something you'd be interested in, you can join the newsletter here.

I also have a wonderful budding filmmaker community in the Storyteller Facebook group, where we can communicate, offer feedback and support to each other, and connect with new collaborators.

A BIT ABOUT ME
Hey! I'm Nick LaRovere, a director and producer based in Phoenix, Arizona.

Around 2016, I directed my 1st feature film, Genesis: Fall of the Crime Empire, which was released for worldwide distribution soon after.

Making my first feature film (on an extremely low budget) was an incredible learning experience, and since then, I've produced 2 other feature films, both of which have received worldwide distribution. 

Under my production company Occulus Films, I have also directed and produced a variety of commercial content since 2014 - a close second passion to making films. Read my full story here.
