Biography

Steven Vasquez is a producer, director, cinematographer and editor, known for Sideline Secrets (2008), Triple Crossed (2013) and Eroddity(s) (2015). Born in Anaheim, California to Mike and Hope Vasquez, Stevens early interests were building homemade haunted houses, going to Disneyland and making home movies. Steven loved film though he never aspired to a Hollywood career. His dream was to make small low budget movies in his home and local neighborhoods and maybe build a small following. That dream was long in coming when he went to work at AT&T in order to support his new family. 12 years later in his early 30s he was diagnosed with schizophrenia. Unable to work and at the urging of his Doctor he took up a very expensive hobby - Filmmaking. Over the course of a year and a half he made his first short film Rose and Alexander. He was in the hospital when he learned his film was selected to show at a festival. He won Best Short film and Best Director. More important then the awards though was his new friendship with Laura Reilly, the films lead. She became his muse and guiding light through several dark times. Steven has learned to use his affliction in a most artistic fashion. To say his dark mostly erotic films are non linear is an understatement. One reviewer said of his film A Siren in the DarK. "There are plot holes you can drive a Mack truck through and the editor must have been on crack, but still you must see this film!" Steven has four children and is a proud grandfather of one. Although he's gay he has been faithfully married to his wife Sandra for over 35 years.
