Stand-up comedian, playwright, and performer Stephen Coombs added screenwriter and filmmaker to his repertoire, with the debut screening of his 2023 Short Film, “World’s Greatest Dad.” A collaborative effort developed through the NIFCO Introduction to Film course. Stephen’s foray into film follows on the heels of his most recent one-man show Here & Now; a deeply personal yet relatable portrayal of his journey with cancer that is equally touching and hilarious in its observations. Through Stephen's multi-faceted career, one thing that has held constant is the importance of storytelling. Specifically sharing stories inspired by personal life experiences. Stephen's newest short film, 'Kneaded,' developed through NIFCO's First Time Filmmaker program and the support of Arts NL, is a short drama that explores the importance of self-care for those who find themselves filling the role of primary caregiver within the cultural context of traditional Newfoundland family dynamics. He is presently working on developing his next short film with hopes to adopting his latest full stage production into a feature film / series.
