About Stellabelle.
At Stellabelle, we have one goal: to tell your unique story.
We’re a photography and film production company operating primarily in Brooklyn, NY and Houston, TX, founded and operated by writer/producer Demetrios Cokinos.
From ideating and writing to production and post-production, we are with you every step of the way to realize your vision. We will meet you in the trenches and do the work.
We believe that no matter the project — be it a fictional film, a wedding shoot, a family portrait session — you are trying to convey a clear message and aesthetic. Let’s work together to support your idea in the way it deserves.
We’ve worked with clients such as:
The Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America, The Kinkaid School of Houston, TX, Sts. Constantine & Helen Greek Orthodox Cathedral of Brooklyn, NY, the Brooklyn Greek Festival, Ionian Village (Glyfa, Greece), while shooting weddings, family, and portrait sessions in New York City, areas of New Jersey, Chicago, and Houston.
We work in the fictional space too.

We would love the opportunity to create with and for you. Please get to know us more through our site by viewing our photography and video/film services.

About our founder, Demetrios Cokinos.
Demetrios is based in Brooklyn, NY, working as a writer, producer, and director in TV and film production, and is a member of the Writers’ Guild of America. Demetrios currently works with the writing and producing team on Netflix’s THE DIPLOMAT. His most recent credits include the globally successful, high-budget TV series INVASION (Apple TV+) created by Simon Kinberg and David Weil, HUNTERS (Amazon Prime Video), starring Al Pacino and Logan Lerman, LITTLE VOICE (Apple TV+) from Sara Bareilles and Jessie Nelson, the Peabody Award-winning series DICKINSON (Apple TV+), and the Emmy-nominated hit UNBREAKABLE KIMMY SCHMIDT (Netflix) from Tina Fey and Robert Carlock.
Demetrios was born and raised in Houston, Texas, comes from a very large Greek family, and graduated in 2014 with honors from Northwestern University in RTVF and English Literature. He began his career as a work-study student on season 7 for 30 ROCK (NBC). Upon graduation, he then moved to Brooklyn, NY to work on UNBREAKABLE KIMMY SCHMIDT (Netflix). For the past twelve years, Demetrios has worked professionally for and learned from many talented creators and producers in the TV industry and he is thankful for the opportunities they have provided him. You can read about his full credits on IMDb.
Stellabelle is named after Demetrios’ Yiayia (grandmother) Stella Tsilimigras, nicknamed “Stellabelle,” who would always say to Demetrios when talking about movies and art, “well, it’s got a good story. That’s the key.” And that has always stuck with Demetrios to this day.
Through Stellabelle, Demetrios hopes to create an inclusive, innovative, and unique creative outlet in the film and TV industry. The first short film hailing from Stellabelle, LIGHTNING’S ECHO, explores a magically realistic story about a grief-stricken man who finds a way to capture lighting in a jar. It is Demetrios’ hope to continue telling stories — from both himself and others — from a unique lens, that takes Stellabelle’s audiences somewhere new.
Demetrios also has a love and eye for photography, in both digital and 35mm film. He is excited to expand Stellabelle to offer a wide range of photographic services. He especially loves working with families and kids! Let us shoot your next project!
