Steve Katz

Owner/
Videographer

A background in stage, film and teaching served Steve well when he opened the first incarnation of Act One Video in New York City in 1983. While appearing on TV in soap operas such as, "One Life To Live" and "Days of Our Lives," he began making videos on the weekends.

He completed a Masters Degree at City College, by producing a video to help special education freshmen adjust to high school life. The company flourished and was maturing when he brought Act One to Honolulu in 1988, where he taught video to students at Kalaheo High School and produced, The "First Lady of Waikiki," which won First Place at the prestigious International Media Festival.

His production of Glenn Grant's "Lost Little Girl of Manoa Valley" was premiered at the Hawaii International Film Festival. Steve has also shot and directed TV commercials for Cycle Sports, Kellogg's Hawaii and Charter Mortgage. He co-produced and was an on-air host for "The Hawaii Wedding Show'" on KFVE TV.

With Robin Lung he co-founded "VideoBiographics" which tells people's life stories on DVD. Each year they produce a biography that is shown at the Historic Hawaii Foundation's annual banquet. He also produced, "Something in The Water," a rap music video, seen on MTV.
