After a childhood of making monsters and watching movies, (often at the same time) Steve completed film school and decided to focus on becoming a special effects artist fulltime. After working on films such as Star Wars EPII, The Matrix Reloaded, Ghost Ship and the Spierig brother's UNDEAD, Steve had the pleasure of showcasing his talent to Academy Award winner Richard Taylor who promptly offered him work in New Zealand on Peter Jackson's King Kong. After five years continuing FX work at Weta Workshop, Steve relocated back to Australia to design the Vampire FX for the Spierig brother's next film, Daybreakers. Now basing himself in Queensland, he went on to design Special Makeup FX for the films, BAIT 3D, Mental, The Jungle and What We Do In The Shadows. Most recently, Steve has designed the Makeup FX for PREDESTINATION – his latest collaboration with the Spierig Brothers. Now focusing on telling his own stories, Steve has recently completed his short film Mullet Gut, which was written and made to showcase his work outside of Special Effects. Steve is currently prepping to shoot his new short film, ABDUCT.
