Nick has worked in many capacities in both live theatre and film.
Nick started his filmmaking resume in 2018, when he was awarded over $10,000 in grant funding from The Bristol/Warren Education Foundation, The RI Foundation, and the RI State Council on the Arts.
With those funds, he was able to implement a filmmaking curriculum at Mt. Hope High School in Bristol RI.

It's Not You, It's Me
By Don Zolidis
Directed by Lea Ricci
Cinematography & Editing by Nick Mendillo
Lea Ricci for her senior acting project volunteered to direct our Fall 2020 stage production, but due to COVID-19, we had to cancel the staged performance. What took its place was a pre-filmed version of the play, utilizing green screen technology and editing tricks to abide by COVID-19 protocols for public school in RI.
The result is utterly goofy and charming, considering the circumstances.
The Mt. Hope Masqueraders' Spring 2021 Musical Cabaret!
Directed by Sophia Ferolito
Cinematography & Editing by Nick Mendillo
Each Spring, the Mt. Hope Masqueraders produce a fundraiser in the form of a Cabaret. In 2021, due to COVID regulations, we had to film a socially distant, semi-live staged production. We prerecorded the songs, and recorded the "live" moments separately. The entire show was produced by the Masqueraders Executive Board, led by President Sophia Ferolito.
