Steve Kahn was born and raised in Southern California and fell in love with theatre by his pre-teens after falling into an acting group at a local 250 seat community theatre and performing in up to three plays and musicals a year. His love quickly turned to writing and filmmaking and as a teen played by producing several small films as well as writing screenplays, studying photography, music, and classical vocal training.

Accelerated artistic growth came while he attended the prestigious Sanford Meisner Center for the Arts where he graduated the two-year acting program with honors.  He finds himself privileged to be able to call The Meisner Center’s Martin Barter and UCLA screenwriting professor Richard Walter teachers and uses their principles, lessons, and quotes on a daily basis.

After continued acting on the stage, at the HBO workspace and Egyptian amongst others, TV work that included a Jake Kasdan’s “Zero Effect” pilot and several short films and independents, he realized acting alone still didn’t satisfy his artistic desire or his need for total control of the entire process.

In response to this desire, he wrote award-winning spec. scripts, landed a literary agent and co-wrote shorts that were produced for the mobile phone market. He then went on to produce the short film “daños del amor” in which he also wrote, directed and starred. This film has received rave reviews from an Oscar winning screenwriter, a TV showrunner, and several notable producers, writers, actors, and critics.  Steve has written a feature-length romantic comedy, “Ninja Zombies,” that is presently in pre-production. The feature’s story is in negotiations for a comic book series and video games franchise as well.

Steve is represented by Jerry Pace at The Dedicated Agency (formally Zanuck, Passon & Pace) and Brandon Kjar of Kjar and Associates Management.

Steve is currently directing, writing, editing and starring in the hit web series Killer Chihuahua!. Katy Dolle and Steve Kahn have created Kahn Artist Filmworks collaborate on more projects in the future.
