Originally from Maine, Stephen lives in New York City where he works as a video producer and film director. His horror influences include Stephen King (of course!) Sam Raimi, Dario Argento, and John Carpenter.
I have worn contacts since the 6th grade, and without them I am practically useless. On several occasions I've found myself without glasses or contacts in situations that desperately called for them. That universal sense of dread and helplessness is what drove the concept for "Near Sight."
