Director, Stephen Robinson, walks in and I ask, “Are you the new janitor on set?” of which he jokingly replies, “Get out of my face!” This is his new favorite phrase for me!

“Austin, Texas is a great place for an indie filmmaker. We have multiple film festivals like the Austin Film Festival and South by Southwest. Enter The Session, a film created by a group of University of Texas students and graduates. They are a dedicated bunch of artists who are carving their own way within the Texas film scene. They call themselves Red Herring Productions.
Currently the team is working day and night to craft a story they think can compete in the Texas film circuit. ”It’s a labor of love,” says producer Laura Herring. ‘ I’m doing it because I love making films. I’d say that it’s the general feeling of a good many people on this boat.’ ” -Austinot

“I can’t help but think how people like Laura Herring and the her associates represent what is great about Austin and its artists. All it takes is a dream, some grit and a team of dedicated people to come together. National economy be damned. I can’t wait to see The Session hit screens when it wraps up in November. I am proud to see my fellow Austinites and Texas alums create something original in an industry marred by economic strife..” -theAustinot

At the age when most kids were perplexed and fascinated by the idea of baking soda and vinegar successfully replicating a volcanic explosion, I had already discovered the feeling of being in love. I LOVED telling stories. It was a talent I began developing when I was probably younger than eight years old and have continued to nurture into a deep passion. From the time I first picked up my Aunt’s direct-to-VHS video recorder, I have completed over 40 movies, spanning running times of 2min to 1hr and 30min. I’ve had the blessing to direct a feature film which sold out to a crowd of 500 people, as well as win a nationally recognized award for it’s script; all at the age of seventeen. Many of my films have been showcased at prestigious film festivals including AFF and international festivals in Utah.
I believe that movies are a powerful tool in bringing together different groups of people to help each other recognize basic and essential human characteristics. They bind, strengthen and carry people to explore new ways of viewing our world.
Alfred Hitchcock was once asked “Do you think movies should be a slice of life?” to which he responded “No, I believe they should be a slice of cake!”. I agree whole-heartedly. I would also add that it is important to enlighten the human mind by sharing entertaining but CLEAN ideas. We live in a world filled with sex, violence and mayhem. So let’s enjoy a slice of cake for once, something sweet, delicate but still made with many, many layers.
Feel free to view a few of my films by clicking below:
Best, Stephen Robinson

The first thing I ever wanted to be was an astronaut. When I finally learned to read at 7 I realized that I wanted to be a writer, because then I could go to the stars whenever I wanted.
At the heart of me I will always be a storyteller. Versed in film and entrepreneurship I know that my greatest gift as a storyteller is to create and deliver value. That value I hope is something that can be articulated as thought-provoking and inspiring emotional experience and life lessons.
Every day I am beyond grateful for the people willing to support me, my team, and my dreams.
“I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” -Maya Angelou
