About me

Manoli Despines is a filmmaker, artist, and occasional musician from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He is a graduate of Syracuse University, where he earned a B.F.A. Film Degree at the School of Visual and Performing Arts in 2019. He also earned a minor in European History through the Maxwell School at Syracuse.

Manoli has always been interested and surrounded by music from a very young age, where he learned how to play the piano, oboe, and guitar in elementary and middle school. He discovered his love for making films and editing in the 7th grade, where he used a 5th Generation iPod Nano and iMovie to film and edit numerous school projects.

The films and projects that Manoli makes range from comedies, to dramas, and even experimental shorts, proving his ability to go to great lengths in creative range while still managing to make impressive work.

He's taken on numerous roles in these films, proving his worth not only as an independent artist and filmmaker, but as a collaborator. His strengths lie in Editing, Sound Design, Pre-Production, Scriptwriting, and Cinematography.

When he's not making and watching films, his other interests and passions include writing and listening to music, writing original screenplays and short stories, developing and studying comedy, and reading about architecture, design, fashion, and European history. His favorite film is and will probably always be Blade Runner (The Final Cut).
