About Cinevore
Cinevore Studios is an independent entertainment company bringing together writers, filmmakers, producers, and game designers to develop original stories and create compelling entertainment across film, television, publishing, digital media, and tabletop games.
Founded by writer and filmmaker Matt Conant, Cinevore is built around a collaborative approach to storytelling. Our team combines experience in comedy, science fiction, fantasy, and interactive entertainment, developing our own original properties while partnering with other creators, studios, and publishers to bring their projects to life.
From bestselling science fiction novels and original tabletop games to television comedy and digital productions, Cinevore’s work reflects a shared commitment to inventive storytelling, memorable characters, and creative collaboration.
Our Story
Cinevore Studios was founded by writer and filmmaker Matt Conant to bring talented creators together around a shared passion for storytelling. What began with a focus on comedy, science fiction, and digital entertainment has grown into a collaborative studio developing original intellectual property and producing creative work across multiple media.
Our team’s experience spans television, film, digital, publishing, and tabletop gaming. We’ve worked with organizations including Red 5 Studios , WHYY-TV (PBS), Mystery Science Theater 3000 (Netflix), and Cinemassacre (The Angry Video Game Nerd).
Along the way, we have developed properties with Amazon, HBO Max, and Allplay. Our publishing work includes bestselling science fiction, while our original games and entertainment properties continue to expand the worlds we create.
Today, Cinevore balances two complementary pursuits: developing our own original stories and collaborating with other creators to bring theirs to life.

Core Creatives
Cinevore Studios is the creative home of husband-and-wife writing team Matt Conant and Lauren Cipollo. Together, they develop original stories, create memorable characters, and build imaginative worlds across film, television, publishing, and interactive entertainment.
Their partnership combines a shared passion for comedy, science fiction, fantasy, and storytelling with professional experience in writing, filmmaking, and creative production. Whether developing their own intellectual property or collaborating with other creators, Matt and Lauren bring a unified creative vision to every project.
Their experience and contacts in a variety of creative industries means that Cinevore collaborates with additional filmmakers, writers, artists, producers, designers, and other creative professionals, assembling teams tailored to the needs of each project.
Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle told me to “start the action on the first page, keep the story moving fast, and the reader will eventually catch up.” It is clear that Matt Conant and Lauren Cipollo have learned this lesson well!

Matt is a brilliant director and a hilarious writer. He worked so hard to implement the financier’s notes, and he exceeded our expectations every time.
-Cindi Rice, Film/TV Producer
Your work is just fabulous and seriously well-written. Wildly and beautifully creative.
-Mark Sevi, Screenwriter & Editor, Blood Fiction V.3
When [head writer] Elliot Kalan and I would get stuck working on the bits for Mystery Science Theater, we’d be like “Well, what does Matt have in this spot?” And we would always laugh out loud, and then we would use it.
