Stephen Camelio

After a successful career as an editor at In Style magazine in New York City, Steve volunteered to be snowed-in in Yellowstone National Park for a winter (think The Shining with more wolves, less ghosts). The following year he wrote the Montana-set, fly fishing, veterans, PTSD drama MENDING THE LINE, which was awarded a Big Sky Film Grant from Governor Bullock and the Montana Film Office. It was shot in 2021 starring Golden Globe-winner Brian Cox, Emmy-winner Patricia Heaton, Academy Award-recipient Wes Studi, Sinqua Walls and Perry Mattfeld. Steve’s original pilot THE HIGH-LINE, about drug dealing/smuggling along the Montana/Canada border, was featured in Variety as an ATX Festival/The Black List Writers Program Selection. THE PUSH, a script he co-wrote, was shot last year in LA and he also co-wrote a buddy-comedy based both on his time at In Style and as a founding member of The Scorpions, the world’s manliest book club that was featured in Playboy and The New Yorker. A freelance writer, Steve’s work has been published in countless magazines and journals and he’s crafted copy for countless businesses, from Fortune 500 companies to successful startups. A graduate of Villanova University, Steve holds master’s degrees in English education from New York University and Irish literature from Queens University in Belfast, Northern Ireland. A Masshole by birth, he lives in Montana, where he fishes, hikes and plays princesses with his two young daughters.
