Steff Aquarone is a young entrepreneur and film producer. An ardent facilitator, Steff has a passion for 'making things happen'. Before reading Politics and International Studies at the University of Warwick at the age of 19 Steff had already managed an Inn, set up a graphic design business and organised an outdoor music festival.
His current professional experiences are all related to screen-based entertainment (primarily intended to make people think or laugh). As a Director of Fullrange Steff oversees high-end corporate production as well as the West Midlands’ largest post-production facility in the heart of Digbeth. He is a director of the Producers’ Forum representing regional TV and Film producers, a trustee of 100 year-old Cadbury children’s charity BAYC and co-founder of Immense Productions, a comedy development company with Guy Browning.
Steff has Executive Produced more than twenty big-budget corporate films for high-profile brands including Land Rover, Vodafone, Massey Ferguson and American Express. He has produced two feature-length films and one short film, which was among the first in the UK to be shot on HD. Steff has recent experience in raising investment and financial planning and has lectured, given keynote speeches and radio interviews throughout his travels.
It is Steff’s ambition to contribute to the value of culture and art, whilst constantly responding to social change - an aim furthered greatly by his fellowship of the Royal Society of Arts, which he was awarded in 2007.
