Filmmaker Website Design for Director Steven Smith (Director S), Dallas, TX

A bold, cinematic website for an award-winning Dallas director, built to show his reel, his work and the story behind “Director S.”

Steven Smith, known as Director S, is a director, visual effects artist and founder of Legacy One Productions, named Filmmaker of the Year by ProMovieMaker Magazine. After moving from Queens, NY to Dallas, he needed a website that could introduce him to a new market and show fifteen years of films, commercials and music videos in one place.

About page hero on Director Steven Smith's filmmaker website

01 · A New York filmmaker starting over in Dallas

Project Overview

Steven built his career in New York, then relocated to Texas. His work spoke for itself, but he had no website and a client base that was no longer local, so new clients in Dallas had no easy way to find him or see what he could do.

02 · Great work, nowhere to show it

The Challenge

The film market in Texas was a fresh start. Steven needed one professional home for his reel, his credits and his services, one that looked as cinematic as his work and reached clients in Dallas, New York and Atlanta.
