He was editor-in-chief of the University of Michigan's 100 year old humor magazine, The Gargoyle. In 2003, he co-founded the comedy website, Supermasterpiece with Andrew Lin and Chris Messick.
Stephen has written and directed videos which have screened at the Tribeca Cinema and Anthology Flim Archive in Manhattan, at the GalleriBOX in Akureyi, Iceland, the Celluloid Soup Film Festival in Melbourne, Australia, the Center for Contemporary Art in Glasgow, Scotland, and even on the internet.
