His work has garnered numerous local and international awards including 2 MCA-I Gold Reels, 2 Silver and 5 Bronze Telly Awards, 3 International Business Awards "Stevies" and a NZ 48HR Film Film Making Apee. This success has led to him being invited to join the IBA Winners' Circle and Telly Awards Silver Council to judge the 2010 awards.
He's a long-time member of the NZ Film and Video Technicians Guild (NZFVTG) and has represented the Guild on the board of the Academy of Film And Television Arts (AFTA) and the UNITEC Postgraduate Diploma in Performing and Screen Arts advisory committee. Steve is also a member of the Auckland Chamber of Commerce, past Chairman of the Northern Area Performing Theatre Awards, was an industry representative on the advisory committee for the Digital Video Production Diploma of the NZ Media Design School, and was an Industry Panelist for the school's 2009 and 2010 Diploma of Visual Effects and Motion Graphics.

Keith McLean
Keith joined Screentime as online editor in 2002, in the days of 'Travel.co.nz", the 'Big Art Trip', and the very first episodes of Police Ten 7.
His personal favourite over the years would be the Colin McCahon documentary 'I Am'.
He completed a Fine Arts degree majoring in painting at Elam way back in the 80's, but soon realized he'd need to eat, thus starting at TVNZ as a Graphic designer. OE led to a stint as a Quantel Harry operator at London's Moving Picture company in Soho, until the recession led to a few hungry years in an indie band, touring France, Holland and the US.
He married in the UK and moved back to NZ, working for 5 years at Sky, followed by a year making TVC's at Digital Masters.
His main focus now, apart from surfing, being a dad, and delivering Ten 7 on time every week (250 plus and counting), is making the post process as smooth and painless as possible for all productions, and using his creative eye to help make Screentime's shows look great on air.
