My Name is Nicholas Mankowski and I am Based in Stillwater, Minnesota.
Mankow Productions is a freelance video production company specializing in concert videography, combat sports, and cinematic storytelling. Whether it’s a live event, a personal story, or a creative project, I’m passionate about capturing moments and turning them into something meaningful. I’m always willing to travel and open to working on projects of all kinds.
My journey in film began at Stillwater Area High School, where I graduated in 2024. It was there that I first discovered my passion for filmmaking and began developing the essential skills that I continue to use in my work today. From there, I attended St. Olaf College for a year, where I had the opportunity to contribute to a variety of film productions, earn second place at the St. Olaf Film Festival, and work on projects submitted to various festivals. These experiences helped shape my approach to filmmaking and further fueled my passion for telling stories through the lens.
Through Mankow Productions, I strive to bring that same passion and cinematic approach to the worlds of live music and combat sports. Every performance deserves to be captured with the energy, atmosphere, and cinematic quality that makes it unforgettable.
The same philosophy carries into combat sports. From Jiu Jitsu, Muay Thai, and MMA to wrestling and professional wrestling, I work to capture not only the action but the stories, personalities, and emotion behind every competitor.
Big stage or small. First fight or main event. Every Person deserves to look like a superstar.
My experience ranges from long-term productions to fast-paced, run-and-gun live events, allowing me to adapt to different environments and bring each project to life.
At Mankow Productions, my goal is simple: to help you tell your story. Whatever the project, whatever the vision, I’m here to bring it to life through the art of film.
I was born to tell stories. Let’s tell yours.
REAch out!
