Career

Filmmaker

His short film Celebration received recognition,[3] and allowed him to be the youngest filmmaker ever invited to the Berlin International Film Festival.[4] His work became recipient of multiple awards, most notably a Teddy Award by an independent jury at the 2002 Berlin International Film Festival.[2][5][6] His work has played at numerous international film festivals,[7][5][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16] including the prestigious Cannes Film Festival.[17]

More recently, both Stedman and his cousin Aron Epstein acted in and co-directed his film The Moth and the Firefly.[18] Inspired by the New York City blackout of 2003,[19] the animated short film had its world premiere at the San Joaquin International Film Festival in May 2009.[20] It won 'Bronze Palm' at the Mexico International Film Festival.

He is the owner and president of Brooklyn Magazine, founded in 2010.[23]
