A New York City native, Stephen Wolf earned his BFA at California College of the Arts in San Francisco. He was an award-winning art director at Saatchi & Saatchi Worldwide, NYC before launching his own boutique advertising and design consultancy, where he won multiple creative awards for his work with top-tier brand-name clients. As a storyteller at heart, Wolf felt called to move beyond the commercial realm, to create stories that speak to the human condition. This led him to UCLA's MFA Screenwriting program. He has since written over 20 feature scripts and TV pilots--with three features and a television drama pilot currently optioned--and has worked professionally as a feature writer-for-hire and script consultant.
