Stephen was raised and educated in the cultural melting pot of Durban, South Africa. There he graduated from the University of KwaZulu-Natal, completing a double major in Media & Communications and Drama & Performance Studies. Prior to that, following an intense calling to realize his dream of directing for film and television, he completed a year of undergrad film studies at the Cape Town International Film School. Following his graduation from University, he decided to broaden his cinematic and cultural experience and moved to Australia. Soon after this move, he was offered a place in the directing course at the Australian Film Television and Radio School (AFTRS). He now spends his time between Australia and South Africa and he is writing his first feature whilst working as a freelance director on film, video and online contents.
