Stephen Wise was one of the first 30 students inducted into the inaugural class of University of Central Florida's film program and graduated with a Bachelor's Degree cum laude. As a screenwriter, Stephen received accolades from Creative Screenwriting Magazine, Writer's Digest, and the Screenwriting Expo. He co-wrote Batman: DarKnight, a script for a proposed Batman film that was optioned Warner Bros., but was eventually passed over in favor of the reboot Batman Begins. DarKnight is constantly listed as one of the best unproduced Batman screenplays, including by IFC and Screen Rant, and The Hollywood Reporter featured it in an article in June 2015.

Stephen is also an award-winning filmmaker and commercial director, having received three American Advertising Federation awards and a Best Director award to his name for his short film “Crooks”. He has appeared in the feature films Jurassic World and Fantastic Four. Additionally, he has written and published Portals of the Mind, an anthology of short stories of genres that include science fiction, fantasy, horror, and others. He lives in Northwest Florida and earns a living as a video producer.
