Pictorial representation of Stephen (not to scale) - Stephen Morgan

Typical of an older member of Generation Y, Stephen is jack of few trades and master of none, having spent most of his life staring gormlessly at screens or trying to deafen himself by standing in front of speaker stacks at concerts or simply having his walkman up way too loud.

His obsession with moving images saw him undertake a BA in Screen Studies and led him to dabble in all corners of the film industry. He's written a short film about a man with an uncontrollable nosebleed, chased actresses around the outback at dawn (for the sake of art), buckled under the weight of a boom mic in a props warehouse, catered for a gang of Ambulance drivers during a promotional video shoot and edited a documentary about punk bands playing in empty warehouses. Lately, he's been studying towards a Masters in Film Archiving and writing articles about the intersection between art and cinema. What a nerd!

His obsession with music has seen him organize festivals, host a community radio show, start his own 'zine and waste countless hours attempting to learn a musical instrument. Perhaps more importantly, he has also learnt all the words to a host of classic 90s (c)rap songs including (but not limited to) Baby Got Back and Ice Ice Baby.

When not obsessing over films or music, Stephen tends to enjoy staring at abandoned cinemas, reading non-fiction books, watching football (soccer), sipping pina coladas and, occasionally, getting caught in the rain (if he's wearing a suitable waterproof jacket).
