Dear Visitor,

My name is Stephanie Schleicher, and I have been a filmmaker since I was ten years old. 

That was the year my family bought a video camera.  It was the eighties, so it was huge and bulky and it rested on your shoulder.  Inside was a full-size VHS tape. 

I spent many days holed up in a dark upstairs room with my Barbie house, sweating, re-recording scenes over and over.  Barbie was always falling over in the middle of the scene on her tiny Barbie toes… but my mom’s friends went crazy over the movies. 

Everything in my life seemed to fall into place.  

I spent college bent over a film splicer, Scotch tape stuck to my fingers.  I started a film festival and basically got going with the STEPH CAN.

Now we have FILM STUDIOS IN OUR POCKETS. 

The means of production are available TO TODDLERS. 

Let’s make good films.

Let’s make films we have never seen before.

Let’s make films we want to see.

Love,

Stephanie WE LIKE HER Schleicher
