Karl Stelter

Karl Stelter is a self-taught writer / director whose distinct, soulful tone spans multiple genres. Chicago born and LA-based, his indie spirit and DIY attitude first drew him to hone his craft through intimate documentaries - working closely with subjects while learning the technical facets of filmmaking in fast-paced, high-stakes environments.

His latest film (DIS)CONNECTED continues to strategically push boundaries as a director - collaborating with staffed TV writer Hussain Pirani (FBI International) as a proof of concept. The film has screened at multiple Oscar qualifying festivals, PROOF, FilmQuest, and won best sci-fi at Toronto Shorts. It has since premiered online via DUST.

Commercially his work has earned 2x Gold Clio's and 1x Silver, a Bronze ADCC award, and has been recognized by The Mighty List.

Beyond filmmaking, Karl is an avid runner, poker player, and proud father of two.
