Hello. Steve here. As the newest but oldest producer on the show, I know I am a bit of an unknown quantity. To quell any rumblings regarding my qualification to produce high-quality, hilarious episodes of Life from the Inside, I have decided that my first weekly post to the LFTI blog will be an enlightening, though drastic truncation, of my curriculum vitae. A curriculum vitae, or "CV" for short, is actually a résumé, but fancy people, like me, prefer to call it a CV so that I may claim to be fancy people.
1969: Born in a small town in central Colorado to a set of six socially conservative parents.
1970: Begin preschool early to get a jump on my studies.
1982: Make my first home movie with my friend Sven. The 8mm black-and-white silent film is a 46-minute staging of the epic poem, "Hortense and the Crusted Tide," by Montgomery Woolworth Sears (1746-). Ran camera and played Mr. Sir Trundle, the Untoward Ecclesiastic.
1984: Miss the Macintosh ad during the Super Bowl. Don't actually see it until 1988.
1987: Graduate Magnum cum Magma from Arvada Northwest Regional Preparatory School and Ersatz Military Academy with a pre-degree in Film Emulsion Chemistry and Elastodynamic Theory.
1988: Finish a year at Stanford, not realizing they had not accepted me in the first place. My brother Milton had "misplaced" the rejection letter as some kind of prank. Dumbshit.
1990: Create Tilted Equator Productions at Boston Collegiate University with four colleagues. Make six short films and two features during our first semester. One of these features, The Weeping Game, goes on to win accolades worldwide for its emotional portrayal of a woman whose tear ducts are sealed by a Lasik accident and who is therefore unable to cry for her dying sister, thus leading to the downfall of the Sino-Prussian Empire.
1991: Graduate from BCU with Super Über Magnum cum Magnanimous honors. Give all proceeds to the Hurry Up and Make a Wish Already, Will You? You Haven't Got Much Time! Foundation.
1993: With leftover chums from Tilted Equator, shoot the first-ever 34-part online independent mini-series, An Oratory for All Humanity. Transfered from U-matic to ASCII animation using a proprietary technique I invented on weekends during college, Oratory was meant for distribution on the soon-to-launch Prodigy dial-up service. The series never saw the light of day, however, and even now remains a subject I'd rather not discuss, much less bring up in a CV such as this.
1994: Move to Los Angeles. Learn there is indeed such a thing as bumper-to-bumper traffic at 10:30pm.
2006: Lose all records and files from 1994–2006 in a mutant silverfish infestation. Forgot everything I may have done during those years.
2007: Begin work on Life from the Inside.
2008: Complete my first official posting for the LFTI blog.
I hope this modest listing helps me to earn your trust and assures you that the future of Life from the Inside is in good feet. Hands! Oops. Crap.

Sir, I'm afraid you may be overqualified.

Fooey. And that's why I truncated it! I will have to go back and cut some more...
Anyone need pictures of Steven from his wild youth? I have them, somewhere, but silver fish are a great problem in the West too, so I could be blowing air.
MOST of what he says in his VC can be fully documented as a shifting reality stream or a stream of consciousness, depending on your mental state at the time of reading his VC. But I always recommend expanding rather than truncating one's outlook or VC.
As an eccentric family member, I had the pleasure of seeing each of his early productions. He is surely qualified to produce this wonderful series, sequels to Star Trek, Speed Racer, 3:10 to Yuma,
and many other genre for film.
Oh hell, acknowledging myself as a family memeber, am I disquilified for any prizes you are giving away?
