About

Raised in Chicago and now rooted in LA, I bring an urban edge to TV promo direction. Inspired by the fusion of storytelling, design, and dynamic visuals, I create promos that leave a lasting impact. With a passion for creativity and a drive for excellence, I partner with visionary teams to craft bold, memorable campaigns that resonate with audiences.

introduction
Black and white portrait of Steven L Wagner

Over the last decade I have conceived and directed some of the biggest and most innovative short films, starring the hottest talent in the industry – they just happen to be promos.

My experiences in the entertainment marketing world have been diverse – from helping to create major activations for Comic-Con and helming television launch campaigns, to directing high-profile, high-concept spots that have aired during the largest television events, including the Super Bowl and The Olympics.

My background as a writer/director and editor specializing in VFX intensive live-action and feature film animation equips me with a unique set of skills. I am a Visual Effects Society Award winner for the music video So To Speak. My past work has garnered seven Midwest Emmy® Awards, multiple Promax and Telly awards, has been featured on the Sci-Fi Channel and MTV, and received international attention at such festivals as SXSW, Worldfest Houston, and Fantasporto.

I love storytelling challenges in all forms. The rules must be pushed and reinvented daily – that quest to capture audiences in new and engaging ways is my driving force – always seeking to innovate and captivate.
