Steve has been part of the Albuquerque Film Festival since its inception in 2009. He has held many titles and has helped Film 4 Change establish a second Festival in Cathedral City, California known as the AMFM Festival for Art. Music. Film. & More. He has pursued his passion, to be part of the entertainment industry, since he was young. He continues to pursue that dream as a producer, director, and actor. His day job as a paralegal in the legal arena for the past 16 years has enhanced and sharpened his organizational skills and attention to detail. That’s what makes him such a good fit to handle the task of being this year’s Director of the Albuquerque Film Festival. steve@abqfilmfestival.com
