Stacey Genève, of Caribbean descent, is a native of New York and has lived there most of her life, but she lived in Atlanta from 2014 to 2018 until she moved back to her hometown of New York.
Stacey was a creative, inquisitive, happy kid. Stacey has had a love for the cinema ever since she could remember. Growing up, Stacey enjoyed watching silent films with Buster Keaton and Chaplin, early talkies with Clark Gable and Claudette Colbert, and later ones with Gregory Peck and Audrey Hepburn. She loved and still does, from drama, gangster (like The Godfather), romantic comedy, and sci-fi to Alfred Hitchcock's thrillers.
Stacey's first love was acting, but when she saw movies like Jaws, Rocky, Champ, Kramer vs Kramer, and Raging Bull in the Theater. The Godfather, Lady Sings the Blues, and her favorite musicals, Westside Story and Carmen Jones, were on television, and Grease was in Theater; she was in awe and knew she wanted to work behind the camera, too. Stacey was intrigued and wanted to know everything about the director and writers. Stacey is very excited that she will make her directorial debut with the film Justice, which she wrote.
Stacey gave up her dream of acting and filmmaking to become a wife and mother. Stacey had two beautiful kids and was very happy with her children. The marriage was a bit unstable, to say the least, so to get away from the dysfunction, Stacey would write and create her own world, but her scripts would just stay in her drawer. In 2007, when Stacey and her husband separated for the last time, she said that she would heed the prompting of the little voice inside that would not let her rest until she went after it, became it, accomplished, and achieved and gave birth to it. So, Stacey decided she would renew her dream and go back to film school, and that she did a few years later, attending Full Sail University in the Film B.S. Program.
Stacey believes it is her true purpose to write, and it's her goal to be an effective, influential writer who will find a way to change someone's life for the better through her words. Storytelling through screenwriting is something she enjoys so much; it's her passion and desire.
She enjoys the whole process, the mechanics of writing a script, creating characters, giving them a profile, bringing each character to life with their own personality, quirks, likes and dislikes, fears and concerns, passions and desires, creating conflict, taking characters through emotional challenges, creating obstacles and having the characters triumph or not.
Ami Zins says, "In my 14 years plus working in the film industry, I have met only a few writers I felt confident would one day become successful working screenwriters. Stacey is one of them.
Stacey's work experience and her background have well-equipped her to become a prolific and insightful writer. Most importantly, Stacey is already a writer - she does not just dream of writing, she does so on a daily basis; she thrives on writing and writes because she is compelled to do so. Her writing is passionate and contains deep and gutsy explorations of complicated situations and a quality of searching for solutions and answers that successfully avoids clichés.
Stacey is a courageous writer. She is willing to call upon world issues as well as her complicated experience with difficult personal relationships and to use it as inspiration for creating complex characters and realistic, unpredictable storylines."- Producer
