In the book, Rick detailed how Steven started his production company and launched his first feature on a Used Car budget.

That feature, a military costume period piece, is entitled Click…a ‘Nam War Flick,” which premiered at the A-list “Ft.

Steven was also awarded; two Aurora Awards for Directing and Cinematography and the “Spirit Award” from the TamBay Film Festival where his movie was in competition with more than 80 films from around the world..

To further hone his craft Steven made a follow-up feature “Woodstock and Paco…a ‘Nam War Flick” which won the Telly, Aurora and Aegis Awards for Entertainment.
