Stephen Keep Mills

Stephen Keep Mills made his exit from the Yale Drama School (and the great Stella Adler) in the spring of 1969 to act with the Guthrie Theatre. He subsequently performed on 20 years' worth of regional stages across the US and Canada. He appeared on and Off- Broadway and guest-starred in multiple episodic TV shows, Movies of the Week, and a few films before deciding to write, direct, and produce his own films. In 2003, his experimental Hotel Lobby inspired by Edward Hopper's painting of the same name found life on the festival circuit. It was followed in 2005 by the 15-minute short: A Cigar at the Beach, and then, in 2008, by another short, Liminal, starring Alejandra Gollas and Tonya Cornelisse, both of whom also star in Mills' 2020 debut feature: Love Is Not Love. The World Premiere was at Cinequest and Random Media is the distributor. Next up is Una tarde, Mills' screen adaptation of famed Italian Playwright Ugo Betti's 1947 stage play: Ispezione, with a Hispanic cast.
