In July 2021, we welcomed Emmy Award-Winning Director Steve Fuller as part of The 20/20 Series, created by NYFA’s Creative Director of Filmmaking and Cinematography, Liz Hinlein.

As a design-based director, Steve brings expertise in the integration of design and live-action to the production process, coupled with an ability to lead projects from conception to completion. Comfortable in a variety of mediums and genres, Steve’s creative through-line is visual storytelling. Steve is widely known for iconic projects such as his Emmy-winning main titles for AMC’s Mad Men serving as Creative Director and Designer. His creative efforts for Showtime’s Nurse Jackie and the HBO miniseries The Pacific earned Steve two Emmy nominations in the Outstanding Main Title Design category in 2010. Steve has recently been busy as an independent director helping major brands create memorable impressions with customers via commercials. His directing credits include major campaigns for McDonald’s and Anthem Healthcare. Steve has also worked with an impressive group of clients, including Google, Ford, Amazon, Fender, Spike, MTV, CBS Sports, Fox, Reebok, NFL, Citibank, NBC, Covergirl, ESPN, Ubisoft, USA, Sears, BBC, Olympus, Glenmorangie, Sprint, Philips, Verizon, Turkish Airlines, and BMW. Previously, Steve helped start and grow the East Coast offices of Imaginary Forces. Over his eight years with the firm, the Director/Designer forged a reputation for inspired, original projects for networks, agencies, and feature films. His work has also been recognized by the BDA and The One Club.

The 20/20 Series is a pop-up event that takes us into the homes, hubs, and workspaces of an array of dynamic creative visionaries to allow for relaxed, engaging conversations on craft, creation, and artistic vision. Each conversation with a creative visionary features 20 minutes of discussion with a moderator and a 20-minute Q&A from YOU, the audience.
