Steven Arriagada DIRECTOR / WRITER

Hey, I'm Steven—a former covert creative with over a decade of experience in video production, TVC directing, and editing. Then, I dived into dramatic directing and writing. I've won & been nominated for awards (AACTAs, AWG Monte Miller Long Form), written a hit show (Bump on Stan, CW, BBCOne, HBO Max), multiple features (for renowned, Oscar-nominated US and UK prod cos), and worked with international studios and talent, including developing, writing and producing for major production companies. I run CINAXIOM STUDIOS, an animation and genre-focused prod co that works with directors, writers, producers and distributors in Aus, the US, and the UK. I'm also into visual arts, comics, and exploring narrative design for video games.

Currently seeking to strengthen my directing portfolio in preparation for my feature film debut, backed by Screen Australia and a major studio.
