Stephanie Joline is an Indigenous writer and director 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. Her feature films include Night Blooms (2021, starring Jessica Clement and Nick Stahl), a coming-of-age story set in the 1990s; Stream Me (2021), about an Indigenous teen who immerses herself in online gaming; and her debut 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 (Farm Crime, CBC, 2021, CBC Gem and Spirit Talker, 2019, APTN), made several short films, and created music videos for Beauts, Nathan Wiley, and The Superfantastics. She's currently developing a few projects including Time Tripping, a genre-bending thriller.
