My name is Steven Mannino. I am a young filmmaker whose objective is to convey a message to all audiences about human emotion. I wrote, produced, directed, and edited my first short film in 2022. I raised the funds for the project, as well as auditioned actors and hired crew members. I have collaborated with many fellow filmmakers to broaden my experience on set. In 2023, I participated in the 48 & 49 Hour Film Projects, in which my teams and I were given certain amounts of time to write, shoot, and edit our short films.
