As an award winning writer and director of TV commercials at Cannes and around the world, Steve spent two decades in advertising creating many memorable and highly regarded campaigns. This was his film school. The advertising business taught him how to create, write and pitch and then explore many different styles and genres as a film and commercial director. He learned quickly how to tell a story in a very short amount of time and create an emotional response form an audience whether it be laughter, shock or heartbreaking. The film series he wrote and directed about the life of Andre Agassi ran for three seasons and was broadcast all over the world. It was considered a Masterclass in Branded Entertainment. Steve continues to direct commercials around the globe having developed a reputation for working with A list celebrities as well as non-actors. He has a gift for casting and drawing the best out of his performers. His first short film "You Better Watch Out" was officially selected for over 30 Film Festivals around the world, including the Oscar® recognized Palm Springs and Foyle International Film Festivals. The film went on to win Best Film, Best Comedy, and Best Screenplay in festivals and was voted one of the three best short films in Australia at the Inside Film "IF" Awards. When Steve decided to develop his skills as a screenwriter he was soon rewarded with one of his screenplays finishing in the top 20 scripts in the Nicholl Fellowship. He has since been commissioned to write many feature film screenplays and screen adaptions. He is current in preproduction on "Cut To The Chase", his first feature film as writer and director after developing his project with producer Kristian Moliere ("The Babadook", "Boxing Day", "Dark Frontier") with the assistance of Screen Australia and Screen NSW.
