Nick DiLorenzo

Nick DiLorenzo is an American filmmaker. Best known for his work on the effervescent experimental short film Manther, DiLorenzo is commonly regarded as a defining producer among students at Chapman University's Dodge College of Film and Media Arts. Alongside his writing partner Ben Massey, DiLorenzo successfully navigated the Manther script through Dodge's censors and even managed to convince then Dean of Students Jerry Price to participate in the film.

According to urban legend, it is said the the budget allotted by the school for Manther was used instead for a massive 2 night long rager, and the film's budget had to be recuperated through independent fundraising. Whether true or not, DiLorenzo's tale of perseverance continues to inspire students to this day.
