The new millennium of 2000 brought Steve an introduction by French-Canadian television producer and magician Gary Ouellette to the producers of international show “TABU” in Tahiti by Les Grandes Ballets de Tahiti. Steve joined forces and his three-month stay yielded unique music and sound design for the elaborate production which flourished and went on to Paris.
In 2003 he opened his Hollywood studio within The Media Shop, previously a Fox television production center. Clients and projects broadened with electronic press kit production, live broadcasting including interviews with Mary J. Blige, Amy Goodman, Mike Farrell and many other prominent personalities. A roster of seven films, three documentaries and more than thirty movie trailers were completed along with a series of L.A. Zoo commercials in 2004, and a live art show. Actor Martin Sheen and others were tapped as voiceover artists at the time.
Over the years Steve worked on productions at Fotokem, Deluxe, Sunset Screening Room, Stanford Post and others. Upon opening his private facility in 2007, he enjoyed a busy schedule completing six films, three documentaries, six Hooters and six Norm's commercials, an L.A. Care commercial and another spot for the L.A. Zoo.
Steve loves intricate and nuanced surround mixes and also specializes in exceptional LtRt encoding, making use of full Dolby formats along with Nugen broadcast metering employing transparent look-ahead limiting. He puts top music and sound effects libraries to use and creates and records precise custom surround effects as well.
Steve's experience and depth of familiarity with delivery requirements have resulted in projects on-time for distribution with Universal, Disney, Fox, Lifetime, Home Theater Films, Monte Christo Entertainment, Darrow Entertainment, Gravitas and dozens more.
