About Stephen McMillan
Born and raised in Hollywood, Florida, I discovered my interest in
video production while attending the University of Florida and
working at the WUFT-PBS affiliate. I later transferred to the
University of South Carolina where I earned a BA degree in
Journalism-Broadcast Production.
Following graduation, I worked at SCTV, the public broadcasting
network for South Carolina. I eventually moved to Greenville, South
Carolina to work as a producer and director at the WYFF-NBC
affiliate.
There, I produced a variety of programming including station
specials, public affairs, local events, and the Children's Miracle
Network. I created the "Crime Stoppers" series in conjunction with
the Greenville Police Department, which won several national awards and community
appreciation certificates. I also directed daily newscasts, multi-camera special events, and several
Miss South Carolina Pageants.
Although I loved directing live in the studio, I soon discovered that I could exercise my creative
talents by shooting on-location video. Each location presented its own challenges, and I
consistently brought creative camerawork, lighting and directing into play. I was eventually offered
consistent work from PM Magazine, a national news program, and enjoyed travelling across the
country. During this time, I also shot commercials for the station's creative services department.
In 1990, along with my wife Tammie and daughter Elizabeth, I moved to Jacksonville, Florida. I
soon became busy working as a freelancer, offering my experience and camera package to not
only local TV Stations, but national broadcasts such as ABC Sports, Inside the NFL, Turner
Broadcasting, the USA Network, ESPN, PGA Tour, Fox Sports, Fox Family Channel, E!
Entertainment, Inside Edition, Police Wildest Videos, and America's Most Wanted and more.
My corporate clients have included Pitney Bowes, Publisher's Clearing House, Johnson &
Johnson, Bristol Myers, Red Cross, Wells Fargo, Intellivision, Wachovia, Bank of America, World
Golf Village, Baptist Health, Vistakon, CSX, B. F. Goodrich, Humana Hospital, and Blue Cross
Blue Shield to name a few.
I currently reside in Jacksonville, with my wife and daughter, two dogs, two cats, several
fish and one very well equipped production van.
