PROFILE    

A   highly   creative,   quality   focused,   and  dedicated  Writer,  Director  and  Producer,  I   have   successfully   completed   numerous  film  and  theatre  projects  as  well  as  a  wide  range  of  other  art  and  writing  works.      

I   honed   my   creative   talent  by  apprenticing   with   some   truly   great  film   and   theatre   luminaries.   These  included   Sir   Tom   Stoppard,   my   late  husband   Dan   Crawford   (the   founder   of  the   multi   award   winning   Kings   Head  Theatre,  which   I   co   ran   for  many   years),  &  Academy  Award  winner  Jack  Cardiff.    

In   addition   to   excellent   leadership   skills  and   the   ability   to   work   harmoniously  with   large   groups   of   dynamic  personalities,   my   core   strengths   include  creative   writing,   production   and  direction,   as   well   as   concept  development   and   design.   These   abilities  ensure   I   can   be   relied   upon   to  enthusiastically   drive   a   project   through  to   completion.   For   a   full   bio,   please   see:  www.stephaniesinclaireart.com/bio/

“A  strange  haunting  tale  of  a  magic  wood  that  allows  its  visitors  to  have  a  second  chance  at  their  lives.  Located  somewhere  between  Star   Wars   and   The   Wizard   of   Oz.   The   next   Disney”   -­‐   Sheridan  Morley,  International  Herald  Tribune
