Short Films
In addition to his acting commitments on Home & Away, Steel continued to develop several feature film projects while refining his directing skills on short films. He has since completed more than twenty short films including "Airhead" starring Andrew Hill and "Mum's the Word" starring Chris Egan, both winners of best comedy at "The Shootout 24hour Filmmaking Festival".
In 2002 he took his filmmaking to new extremes, when he rose to the challenge to make "Diagnosis Narcolepsy", a 16mm, 7-minute film, starring Scott Major, Erik Thomson, Salvatore Coco, Lara Cox, Jeremy Kewley and Deni Hines, and the film was completed in just 24 hours.

—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
“Science fiction films are not about science. They are about disaster, which is one of the oldest subjects of art.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
