Our Team — Larkin-Stanhope Productions

Writer, Director
Vincent often writes in the third person when referring to himself. So it’s anybody’s guess who bears responsibility for this bio. Starry eyed and suffused with vim n vigor, Vincent trundled onto the scene with his first feature Victor Goodview, released by Troma Entertainment in 2018. “Victor” was Vincent’s first filmic foray with longtime friend and editor Jerome Raim. Vincent has continued to conceive, produce and create several projects with Jerome, including Victor-spinoff Geri and Rick and the emotionally fraught short form FARMER AL! Vincent and his sister Alena (producer extraordinaire) developed and shot Larkin-Stanhope’s sophomore feature Arbor Day (now in post) - an epic character ensemble that follows three friends down the ragged path of grief in the wake of a terrible loss. Along with producing-partner Clara Peterson (FARMER AL!), Vincent has just wrapped production on short feature Sonia and Lisa On Mushrooms, and is developing short form Good Advice (in pre-production) as well as LSP’s third feature currently titled Mark and Patty Go to Margie’s.
Vincent tells stories about regular people, often mediocre people who flounder to belong, to make human connections, and within this interstitial space, the occasional spark of kindness, empathy, discovery jumps up. Watch n see who dares reach out to grab it.

Editor
At the age of 13, Jerome Raim started making "films" (one to three minute unmanned tripod shots of semi-choreographed fist and gun fights). He eventually came to the realization that there was more to filmmaking than sound effects and fake muzzle flashes. During his film studies at Paris-St Denis University, he developed an affinity towards new wave and vérité cinema. When not working on passion projects, Jerome specializes in post-production workflow optimization.

Executive Producer
Alena has been an NYC local for the past 15 years, which includes her 3.5 year stint attending St John's University where she graduated with a degree in Mass Communications. She worked as a waitress, bartender, and dog walker – the basic trifecta of prerequisite tv/film jobs – before beginning her career in the industry in 2017.
Her motivation to dive in came in 2014 while working alongside her big brother, Vincent Turturro, on his first feature film, Victor Goodview. In 2017, she began as a 1st team PA on the 3rd season of the television show, Quantico. After a variety of production assistant work on, among others, HBO’s Crashing, Starz’s Power, CBS’s Tommy, she began working as Assistant to the Line Producer, Greer Yeaton, primarily on the 1st of many Power spinoffs: Ghost. As she hones her producorial skills, she continues to work with her brother as a producer, and more under their production company, Larkin-Stanhope Productions.

Tamara climbed aboard Larkin Stanhope’s maiden voyage Victor Goodview. Her background as an adept casting director bears much of the responsibility for the players, once new n exciting when joining LSP’S Victor, now invaluable mainstays in the Larkin Stanhope family. Tamara has worked on numerous productions for Bray Entertainment (Triple Threat TV, MTV & ESPN) and for HBO. Tamara has continued to cast LSP’s subsequent projects.

Producer

Her films have premiered at festivals including Slamdance, Tribeca and Brooklyn Film Festival. In 2021, she produced the virtual Sundance Film Festival with a small team, and she has worked with corporate clients including Bravo TV, A&E, Yale University, the Museum of the Moving Image, the U.S. State Department, and more. She has worked in Casting on Uncut Gems, Marriage Story and principal searches for Disney, Warner Brothers, and Showtime. As a Producer, she seeks out stories with a clear arc and a distinctive voice that are funny, quirky, heartwarming or all three.

Graphic Designer
Em’s background as an artist and graphic designer has come in handy to Larkin-Stanhope Productions over the years, and her work can be seen in marketing material, props, wardrobes, and sets across various productions. Most recently, she revamped the Larkin website and served as a Production Assistant during the filming of Sonia and Lisa on Mushrooms.
Em is now a full-time therapist which has, to absolutely no one’s surprise, caused her to double (quadrouple?) down on her belief in the therapeutic power of art. She hopes to forever find ways to blend her artistic itch with projects that explore the complexity of the human experience. LSP tells stories that mix humor with pain, sadness with relief, and mundane with ridiculous – these are the kinds of stories that offer points of connection for people, and Emily remains eager to support in their development.
