About Dan

Dan Steadman worked on good sitcoms like THAT 70S SHOW and WHOOPI -- a sitcom Entertainment Weekly called the worst sitcom of all time. He used inspiration from the latter to co-create THE ROOM with his writing partner Rajeev Sigamoney. The pair shot the pilot on the CBS Radford lot with Octavia Spencer and Tony Hale.

Steadman and Sigamoney signed with Endeavor in 2004 and began creating, shooting, and pitching pilots, most notably with actor Tim Bagley, THE CAPTAIN co-starring Melissa McCarthy, Wanda Sykes, Jennifer Coolidge, Kathy Griffin, Mindy Sterling, and Michael Hitchcock.

Switching to features, Steadman and Sigamoney shot a webseries called JESUS PEOPLE that went on to become a feature film released theatrically in 10 major markets before being distributed by Freestyle.

Steadman went on to write and direct 18 features, including THE OLDER WOMAN AND THE YOUNGER MAN, MILLION DOLLAR RAZZLE DAZZLE, ELIZA, and THE UNATTAINBLY PERFECT GAY CHRISTMAS. All available to stream on Amazon.

Dan Steadman runs programming and co-hosts UP THE HILL for Big Bear TV on Roku and Amazon Firestick.
