Steve W. Thompson is a filmmaker and visual storyteller from the Hudson Valley NY. He loves weird movies, Fender guitars and analog video tapes. Steve is a virtual Swiss Army knife of filmmaking; a triple threat of Director, Editor and Director of Photography. His expertise has driven the creation of compelling scripted and non-scripted content. He is a team leader at Filmshop, a filmmaking collective where he is workshopping his feature documentary alongside other independent non-fiction projects. In his free time, you might spot him eating tacos at a local dive bar or recording music in Logic Pro X. He currently resides in Stamford, CT with his partner and their delightful trio of feline companions - Olivia, Pippin, and Basil.
