Career Summary
Stephen Di Gravio is a Naarm/ Melbourne-based writer, director & producer. Originally from the suburbs of Newcastle, Stephen grew up far from anything connected to filmmaking, resulting in much of his childhood spent pestering his Nonno & Nonna with extravagant tales of space adventure and otherworldly creatures.
Fast forward almost a decade and Stephen now holds a Bachelors and Masters in Film & TV from Swinburne University and the Victorian College of the Arts. Between his studies, Stephen co-founded the production company KIT3, and produced their first two documentary projects, White Side and Good Gnocchi with support from the City of Melbourne and the Victorian Multicultural Commission respectively.
Stephen’s postgraduate short, Anna reflects his commitment to promoting themes of understanding & empathy through storytelling and garnered a 2023 Australian Directors Guild Award nomination for the emerging director.
