've done this before—but figured I’d do it again.
My name is Stephen Folker, and I'm an independent filmmaker and producer based in Iowa.
I’ve been pursuing filmmaking since 2010, and it’s been my full-time gig for the past few years.
What sets me apart from other filmmakers is that I’m a bit of a jack-of-all-trades: producing, writing, directing, cinematography, sound, editing—you name it, I do it.
This year, I’m hoping to level up and take on some bigger projects. Last year, I had the privilege of receiving the Iowa Greenlight Grant from the Iowa Film Office for a docu-drama I’m currently developing.
I’m always happy to connect with others looking to get the ball rolling.

I write drama features and TV. I have a Legally Blonde meets Proof of Life feature I'm trying to get eyeballs on, and I'm developing a lower budget tech bro tries to biohack a disabled English teacher thing, no comps yet for obvious reasons.

Stephen hope you have all you films projects come true.
I'm a filmmaker from Istanbul, I totally understand the joy of being the jack of all trades as well, I try to be in every part in all the project making process, it's so much fun.
