"Directing films and videos in China combines the best of both worlds: it allows me to engage in my love of travel and adventure in a beautiful country like China, and allows me to satisfy my creative imagination, using the languages of images and words through film. China offers one of the oldest civilizations in the world, with thousands of years of simply epic history, beautiful landscapes, and varied, fascinating people. It's a director and film producer's dream come true."
– Steven Weathers
In cooperation with the Four Seasons Hotel Shanghai, Steven is managing an artist workshop with rising Chinese artist, Tang Bo Jun. The project brings a new experience to the hotel and the guests, as they can interact with the artist each day. Many have commissioned custom oil paintings from photos and memories, and others have enjoyed the scenes of Shanghai. Steven also manages artists at the historic Astor House Hotel in Shanghai and the Four Seasons Hotel Hangzhou on the magnificent West Lake.
With technology advancing and video screens becoming more and more portable, the rise of the micro film has swept China. From luxury brands to corporations, everyone is telling their story with short films. And the 2012 Shanghai International Film Festival was the first to have an awards ceremony for micro films. Steven entered his short film, Shanghai Stories, into the "I Love Shanghai" category and won the "Outstanding Director Award". This short film captures the spirit and charm of Shanghai: the dramatic skyline of LuJiaZui, the grandeur of the historic Bund, the quaint water town of Qibao, the tree-lined streets of the former French Concession, and the cherry blossoms of NanHui countryside.
随着技术的提升，视频屏幕越来越便携，微电影的在中国急速成长。从奢侈品牌到跨国公司，每家都有一部微电影来讲述他们的故事。2012年上海国际电影节上第一次设置了一个有关微电影的奖项。史蒂文将他的微电影《上海故事》提交到了“我爱上海”的竞赛单元，并获得了“杰出导演”奖。这部短片捕捉了上海的精神及其动人之处：浦东陆家嘴壮观的摩天大楼、浦西黄浦江边的老外滩、典雅的七宝古镇、绿树成荫的法式梧桐街道和樱花盛开的南汇近郊等。
When the paint company Dulux wanted to wow their target market with an interactive advertisement, they chose Steven Weathers to write and direct five videos that tell the story of a couple whose colorless marriage is transformed by vibrant colors.

Partnering with a US-based media company, Steven Weathers directed two news pieces about China's wine industry and China's most famous woman, Yue-Sai Kan, who sold her cosmetics brand to L'Oreal. Both pieces were written and filmed in China.
作为美资媒体的合作伙伴，史蒂文导演了两个新的作品：《中国酒业》和将自己的化妆品牌卖给欧莱雅的《中国最杰出女性靳羽西》，这两个作品都在中国创作拍摄。
“在中国导演电影是中西文化的完美融合。让我用上了诸如在中国这样美丽的国家的旅游探险经历、满足了我创造性的想象力，再通 过图像和文字语言在电影中表现出来。中国作为世界上古文明最悠久的国家之一，用它上千年史诗般的历史，壮丽的大好河山，加上各个民族迷人的中国人，给了所 有导演和制片人一个梦想成真的完美平台。”

Learning a new language doesn't have to be boring — especially when you have an entertaining TV series to follow. Learning from a number of Chinese friends who learned English from watching American TV series, Steven decided to write and direct 10 episodes of a fun and lively story that follows five friends in Shanghai who have a dream of opening a coffee shop together. This project was in conjunction with Beijing Golden Seacoast Culture Company and Shanghai Normal University's XieJin Film and TV Arts College.
学一门新语言并不难——尤其当你在追一部娱乐性极强的电视剧的时候。由于身边的很多中国朋友都是从美剧里学英文的，史蒂文自编自导自演了十集的室内情景喜剧，讲述了五个在上海的中国人、外国人，聚在一起开了一家梦想中的咖啡店的故事。本剧的合作方是北京金色海岸文化传播有限公司和上海师范大学谢晋影视艺术学院。
