In 2011 Steve joined fledgling distributor 101 Films as Head of Acquisitions. The first few years were spent building the label up with mainly genre content, then in 2014 the label received significeant financing, which meant the size and scale of acquisitions grew to cast-led content and high-profile festival features.
