The visionary director, writer and producer who created one of the most notorious theatrical feature horror cult films of all time; "MURDER-SET-PIECES", shot on location in Las Vegas on 35mm film and released by Lionsgate Films in the continental U.S. (in an “R” cut) and by Universal Studios (Uncut) in Europe. Palumbo has been obsessed with cinema since his early childhood when his father began taking him to revival house movie theatres. He later attended film school in Los Angeles. In 2000, Palumbo became a force in independent film when he wrote, produced and directed his first feature, "NUTBAG".  In 2002, he followed up with the award winning 35mm short film "SINISTER" shot on location in New York City.

In 2004, Palumbo wrote, produced and directed the inimitable "MURDER-SET-PIECES", which had a theatrical run in 2005. Screened for its World Premiere at the prestigious Sitges International Film Festival in Barcelona, Spain, "M-S-P" was the first Un-rated American horror film to hit theaters in 20 years.

On February 28th, 2008 "M-S-P" was featured on the cover of  Variety and The Hollywood Reporter as a result of the controversy the film has raised in Europe. To date, the U.K., Ireland, and Norway have officially banned  "MURDER-SET-PIECES".

Palumbo may be known in the film industry for his confrontational films, but in real life he’s an easy going, fun loving guy. His favorite film of all time is Charles Laughton’s "The Night of the Hunter"(1955). He lists directors Stanley Kubrick, Roman Polanski and Dario Argento as his biggest influences.

Palumbo's working on a new feature film (a neo-noir thriller) and a new documentary on the late actress Sharon Tate.

Nick Palumbo currently resides in Los Angeles.
