About Me
(Excerpt taken from the Aphelon.com website)
Steven began shooting photography at the age of seven, his father had a darkroom in the house and there were always cameras and the smell of photo chemicals around. He learned to edit moving film on a hand cranked 8mm machine âback when you actually held film in your hands and taped it together with real sticky stuff.â Live action was always his first love but the rock & roll bug bit hard and sent Steven on a alcohol drenched lateral-spiral across the country and back several times with his critically panned/fan adored band the legendary âCornbread Mafiaâ rock & roll band and show revue. Following a chaotic showcase at New Yorkâs C.B.G.B.s being on the road became too emotionally and physically violent so he âfired everybody and quitâ, throwing himself into self-imposed exile on his farm deep in the fertile woods of Kentucky far away from the temptation of those whore-soaked city lights. In a âdryâ county it should be noted. This was part of what Steven calls âgetting born.â âOut there I could go weeks without tactile human contact. I wrote the hell out of everything, short stories, music, features, poetry, prose, you name it. If I couldnât commit it to paper I formed it out of wood or metal or music, to me building is building, making a chair is no different to me than making a movie. It was like I was backed up creatively, all of the things that were on hold wanted out and once the gate was unhinged there was no stopping the frenzied beastâ says Steven. âThe subconscious will continue to createâ he continues âif you open yourself to letting it out there is always something in there waiting to be known. Thatâs why I receive a lot of ideas on long motorcycle rides, itâs my escape pod, my mind is freed from the phone ringing or all of the other extraneous horseshit that clouds the process. Once you make that cognitive shift, momma here comes the goods. Itâs up to you how you capture the idea, or in what medium you allow it to manifest itself.â
Steven is currently prepping his long fabled feature length script âRoadsideâ. One of the lucky few that have actually read the script describe it as âAlice in Wonderland meets Deliveranceâ. He is also writing/recording music and shooting veedeos under the nom de plume âThe Ass Haulersâ.
