Directing career

Stephen Savage first came to prominence as the creative force behind the romantic ecology centered comedy "Cosmic Radio", starring Michael Madsen and Irene Bedard (the voice of Disney's "Pocahontas"). The film was the sleeper hit of the 2008 Palm Springs International Film Festival, becoming the first film to sell out all three of its opening weekend screenings. Since then Stephen has written, produced, and or directed three more feature films, including the soon to be released Osiris Entertainment film "Legacy", starring Wolfgang Bodison ("A Few Good Men", Joe Somebody") and Conor O'Farrell (HBO's The Pacific", "Stir Of Echoes"), and two films which have been picked up by Time Warner Cable's INdTV, "The Hunter's Moon" starring Wes Studi, and "Tide Of Whispers". Stephen's commercial work for such prominent clients as Hyundai and Time Warner's Journey TV has put him on the fast track to a big directing career in TV and Web Based advertising, and his stint as a featured director on A&E Network's "Son's Of Hollywood" helped make him a triple threat in the film, TV and commercial ad game. Stephen started to venture out as a producer in the past few years, and recently worked with Oscar winning sound designer David MacMillan and Oscar nominated cinematographer Jack Green on the Afghan war film, "Reign". Stephen is slated to shoot back to back features beginning in January 2012. Stephen Savage's production company is Lunatopia, which is not only the production entity of all his movies, but is also the banner under which Savage heads up the Idyllwild Independent Festival Of Cinema, held every January in Idyllwild California.
