Stevie Wermers-Skelton is a Disney story artist and director.[1] Together with Kevin Deters she co-directed the traditionally animated shorts How To Hook Up Your Home Theater (2007) and The Ballad of Nessie (2011), and the computer-animated television specials Prep & Landing (2009), Prep & Landing: Operation: Secret Santa (2010), and Prep & Landing: Naughty vs. Nice (2011) for ABC. In 2011 it was reported that Wermers-Skelton is preparing a new Prep & Landing holiday special. However, as of 2015, it has not materialized.[2]

In February 2016, it was announced that she and Deters would co-direct a Frozen holiday special, which was scheduled to air in 2017 on ABC.[3] In June 2017 it was announced that the short, titled Olaf's Frozen Adventure, would instead receive a limited time[4] theatrical release. It was released in theaters with Disney·Pixar's Coco on November 22, 2017.[5]

How to Hook Up Your Home Theater is the first Walt Disney Animation Studios release to have a female director credit. The Prep & Landing: Naughty vs. Nice series garnered several Annie and Emmy awards.
