About Me

My name is Hayven Stein. I am originally from Houston, Texas but moved to Atlanta, Georgia, in 2024 to pursue my MFA at the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD). I am studying to become a director and producer. I have produced several short films, such as Colony (2025), Coming of Rage (2026), and Chrysalis (2026). Though my main focus is directing, which can be seen in my shorts, Can I Borrow A Cup of Sugar? (2023) and The Decision (2024). My time at SCAD has allowed me to find my niche in comedy, and I hope to spread laughter through my films. This coming June, I will be filming my thesis film, Acknowledge the Corn, a shroom trip comedy about two sisters’ last night together.

Recent Projects

The Decision

Can I Borrow A Cup of Sugar?
