Teaches at Writing Pad

After working as a produced writer in Film and Theatre, Steven has recently forayed successfully into Television, selling his original one-hour pilot, DORIAN GRAY, to NBC/Universal and an original two-hour movie to Lifetime, A COUNTRY CHRISTMAS STORY starring Dolly Parton, which broke 2013 holiday ratings records for the network. Steven is currently developing a biopic on screen legend Rita Hayworth to star Eva Longoria, a four-hour sci-fi/fantasy/adventure miniseries with The Wolper Organization, and an original one-hour drama for producer, Andrew Panay, and Relativity TV. Steven’s feature directorial debut, FOOTPRINTS, which he also wrote received the praise of such renowned critics as Kevin Thomas, F.X. Feeney, Mick LaSalle, and the Chairman of the New York Films Critics Circle, who hailed it as “One of the Ten Best Films So Far This Year!”


An award-winning filmmaker and twice-published Samuel French playwright, with credits in Film, Television, and Theatre, Steven is best known for writing the Lionsgate film, THE CAT’S MEOW, starring Kirsten Dunst, Eddie Izzard, and directed by Peter Bogdanovich, chronicling a murder that was rumored to have taken place on board William Randolph Hearst’s yacht in 1924. The film appeared on a dozen year end “Ten Best” lists, including Film Comment and major dailies from coast to coast. Steven’s second feature as director, THE UNDYING, a supernatural thriller starring Emmy nominee Robin Weigert (HBO’s “Deadwood”) and Wes Studi (“Avatar”) was released wide on DVD/VOD in December, 2011.


In the word of comedy, Steven penned three episodes of AMC’s Emmy-award winning comedy series, THE LOT, and was a writer on Disney’s AROUND THE WORLD IN 80 DAYS, starring Jackie Chan, Steve Coogan, and directed by Frank Coraci (director of “The Wedding Singer” and “Zookeeper”). Steven is a graduate of New York University’s Film School and a member of the Writers Guild of America.

    Overall great class. Learned so much in such a brief amount of time. I would’ve loved to learn more about log lines, and an example of a pitch. Overall, amazing experience. I’ve already signed up for additional classes.
