His high-energy television pilot "The 5th Hour" for Nickelodeon was part of the network's effort to engage new demographics.

Steven blended green screen and location shooting across Los Angeles for the eye-popping hit music video on MTV, "Hey L.A.," starring pop sensation Ryan Beatty and sponsored by AT&T.

He collaborated with OgilvyOne to develop and direct an epic five-part online mini-series filled with hours of original live-action content featuring the greatest stars of basketball and cutting-edge interactive games.
"Collider" calls "Shelf Life," the live-action web series that he directed, "hilarious." The show, about the hidden psychoses of tiny action figures, features some of today's hottest voice actors in animation and video games, such as Yuri Lowenthal, star of the PS4 video game, "Marvel's Spider-Man," and Travis Willingham, star of "Critical Role."
