Stephanie Chloé Hepner
a.k.a "Steph"
is an Argentinian actress, director, writer, and producer (yes, ALL of those) because apparently picking one thing is for people with better boundaries. She works across television, film, stage, and digital, which is a fancy way of saying she never sleeps (eye cream reccos are welcome in the contact form).
Steph is on a mission to make the world better, starting with storytelling, because have you TRIED looking at the news? Exactly. She loves to laugh, she loves to make other people laugh, and continues to build her career around pointing out the everyday absurdities most of us silently accept... You're welcome.
She's a citizen of the U.S., the EU, AND Argentina (secret spy or triple threat in the passport department?), has lived in Buenos Aires, Florence, New York, Mexico City, and Los Angeles and spearheads bilingual media collaborations with partners across the globe. All of those cultural dynamics? Not running. She won't even chase an ice cream truck. It's research. For her irreverent comedic scripts. She's a chaos anthropologist with a SAG-AFTRA card.
Her latest film, Betty Bird Goes to War (starring Luna Lauren Velez and Jackie Cruz), won her Best Director and Best Short Film awards. She co-directed and produced Daddy Issues, which premiered at Tribeca. She co-wrote, directed, and starred in the sold-out play Platinum Pussy (Honorable Mention, Hollywood Fringe Festival). She's also a board member and Director of Development at Latinx Playwrights Circle, a nonprofit nurturing up-and-coming Latin playwrights and screenwriters.
Her training spans a call sheet of geniuses: NYU Tisch, Lesly Kahn, Bob Krakower, UCB, Desean Terry, Peter Miner, and more. Acting credits include Law & Order, New Amsterdam, The Equalizer, and Rizo on HBO. So yes, she has been on your screen. You just didn't know you were already a fan.
​
When she's not on set or on stage, you'll find Steph dancing. Night, day, afternoon on a Tuesday... what is time, anhyway? She learned to DJ so she wouldn't have to call one, which is either the most resourceful or the most extra thing you've ever heard. It's both. It's always both.
