Jacob Steph is a Filmmaker originally from Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Like many artists, Jacob's love for storytelling began very young, orchestrating small productions of the most dramatic scenes he could think of in the backyard of his childhood home. Growing up in Albuquerque, Steph grew to value his Hispanic heritage, learning that value of love and hard work.

He later went on to attend The American Musical and Dramatic Academy, studying in both New York City and Los Angeles, receiving his BFA in Media Arts. It's here where he further developed his craft, creating stories that were true to the diverse community that he grew up in. At AMDA, Jacob studied everything from Shakespeare to contemporary film.

As his artistry got more specific, Jacob never lost sight of why he was telling stories: to share the authenticity of real people. Independently, Steph's characters notably represent marginalized groups.

His work lies in a constant push and pull between the comically hilarious and the painfully real struggles of life. Steph continues to find ways to give back to his community and makes his art for the main reason to give a voice to the voiceless.
