Hi, I’m Nicholas Minniti. I’m a Director of Photography, Gaffer, and Editor with a passion for lighting design and cinematic storytelling. Since 2020, I’ve worked freelance under the ShoutQuietly Films brand, delivering crisp cinematography, thoughtful lighting setups, and polished edits using DaVinci Resolve, Premiere Pro, and Final Cut Pro, while keeping organized workflows and on-set collaboration strong. I earned a B.A. in Cinema & Italian from San Francisco State University (Class of 2022), and I co-founded the Latin X Film Club. My work spans on-set production, SF State’s Cinema Equipment Room, and in-house photography for Urban Organics, in addition to contributing to high-profile shoots and TV productions (e.g., America’s Got Talent All Stars). I’m always excited to tell stories through light, movement, and image.
