Steve was born in the Midlands and started following his life long passion for art at nursery school in Bedworth. (Favorite subject; drawing)

Steve attended an art foundation course at Solihull Technical College and then gained a place at Manchester Polytechnic studying fine art. He started to work on ideas for moving images, but resources were scarce so he created food pictures, which decomposed over a long period of time, thus producing movement to the image, but at a glacial pace.

Steve’s first attempt at more conventional film-making won the Best Short Drama Award at the 8th Birmingham Film Festival in 1992. 

The following year he gained a place at the London Film School but couldn't afford to attend, so instead he put his time and energy into learning more about the process of film making by working on other peoples short films.

After working on over 30 projects in various roles he returned to creating his own dramatic film work and also helped establish The Universal Language of Film; a training scheme designed to teach socially excluded people the skills and techniques of film-making. 

Since then he has developed a career as a film writer, director and producer, and worked on projects with artists both in the UK and abroad. Of his films to date, 7 have been screened at international film festivals. (Some of these can be seen on the FILMS & Awards page)

In 2009, Steve’s style of ‘total film-making’, meant that he was recognised as an Auteur Film Maker at the London Short Film Festival.

In 2010 he screened 3 films at the Glastonbury festival.

In May 2011 Steve completed his first feature film entitled, NFA.
