Stephanie Joline is an Indigenous writer, director, and producer based in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Her Indigenous roots come from her mother who is Inuit from Labrador; her father is French Acadian from the South shore of Nova Scotia.
Equally adept at film and television, Stephanie's stories provoke conversation, break boundaries, and are deeply rooted in inclusivity and feminism.
Stephanie is part of a new cohort of filmmakers who are elevating Nova Scotia screen arts, executing big ideas on small budgets, to an international level.
Her films include Night Blooms (2021, starring Jessica Clement and Nick Stahl), a coming-of-age story set in the 1990s; and Play Your Gender (2016), a documentary that pulls back the curtain on gender bias in the music industry, featuring interviews with Patty Schemel, Melissa Auf Der Maur, and Sara Quin.
Stephanie has also directed for television and streaming platforms (Stream Me 2020, Amazon Prime; Farm Crime 2020 CBC Gem; Spirit Talker 2019, APTN), made several short films, and created music videos for Gabrielle Papillon, Nathan Wiley, and Nicole Ariana among others.
In 2020 she was awarded the Irving Avrich Award from TIFF recognizing rising Canadian talent. IMDb Mini Biography By: Tara Thorne
