Originally from Santa Cruz, California, Stephen is an experienced visual effects artist and editor. He first started making stop-motion films as a hobby around the age of eleven, and from there, he continued to develop his skill set, branching out into other areas of film, such as documentary filmmaking and visual effects.
Stephen graduated from the film production program at USC, where his proclivity for visual effects gave him the opportunity to work on many student projects, including a number of graduate thesis films, a television series, and even a couple feature films.
Stephen currently works around the Los Angeles area as a freelance visual effects supervisor and artist. A big science fiction and adventure fan, he is fascinated by the psychology of the mind, and wants to use his skills to both entertain and challenge.
