About Me!

My name is Stephanie Michelle Vasiliou, but I really just go by Steph! I was born and raised in Queens, New York spending a lot of my time growing up around the film industry in one way or another! I only dreamed of being able to make movies and capture special moments before my sister gave me the chance when she gifted me my first camera. Since that day, that camera has lived on my side experiencing life along side me. I love to learn new styles and experiment with new techniques, but when I got to college I focused more on film and television. I got the opportunity to make creative content with new equipment alongside friends and great teachers to help along the way! Today, I still spend my time taking pictures and small videos, however I work as a production assistant across many sets and stages in the tristate area! This has helped me to build more experience and explore the industry that I want to spend the rest of my career learning about. I am a passionate, hard working individual looking for more experience in production and aiming for a career in the camera department. I am dedicated to helping production run smoothly while learning as much as possible to move up in the industry and meet my future goals.
