With over 40 years in the industry and credits spanning from Memento to The Dark Knight, Tenet, and Euphoria, Steve shares what it really means to be a script supervisor — and why he considers himself a filmmaker first.

From navigating the complexity of Tenet to collaborating with directors like Christopher Nolan and Ryan Coogler, Steve offers a rare, behind-the-scenes look at how great films are actually made.

The conversation also explores:
