-Who is Stephen MichaNo Masel Kelly?

An artist first and foremost. Actor/writer/director/entrepreneur and soon to be book author. Determined and fearless. Passion is what drives me.

-What inspired you to become a filmmaker?

I wanted to express myself and since being a writer I was able to write 2 short films to do just that.

-Do you think the cinema can bring a change in the society?

Yes. I think it is important to show our differences but also show we are all people who want acknowledgement, understanding, compassion and love.

-What would you change in the world?

Hunger and racism.

Where do you see the film industry going in the next 100 years?

With the advent of social media platforms it is much easier to get content out to an audience. I’m not sure of the old school ways of going to a theater will be the way it was decade ago. Maybe that does come back a bit, but change is inevitable. It is so much easier to reach the world now.
