Stephen Robert Morse was nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award for producing Amanda Knox, the Netflix hit documentary that helped launch the true crime boom. He started making the film while representing the United States in Europe on an Erasmus Mundus journalism fellowship. Since then, Morse directed, produced, and wrote the critically acclaimed EuroTrump, a film that enabled him to get unprecedented access to Geert Wilders, the Dutch right wing politician who lives behind 24/7 security protection due to credible threats on his life from ISIS. The film was acquired by Hulu, VICE, national broadcasters and had a European theatrical run after playing at Sheffield Doc Fest, DOC NYC, and CPH:DOX.
Morse then Executive Produced Freedom For The Wolf, a documentary on the global threats to liberal democracy that won the Audience Award at the 2018 Slamdance Film Festival and was a nominee for the 2019 Cinema For Peace Awards in Berlin.
He recently directed, wrote, and produced In the Cold Dark Night, a documentary on the 1983 murder of Timothy Coggins in Spalding County, Georgia. The film is available on ABC, Hulu, Sky, and as a series on BET. For this project, Morse received an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Writing: Documentary.
In 2019, Morse Executive Produced The Pickup Game, a film on toxic masculinity that made its debut at HotDocs and was acquired by Starz in the USA as well as dozens of European national broadcasters. He also produced Bad Hombres for Showtime on the world's only bi-national sports team, a professional Mexican baseball team that plays half of their home games in Mexico and half of their home games across the border in Texas.
Morse holds a BA from the University of Pennsylvania and an MBA from the University of Oxford. Along with his business partner Max Peltz, he runs Lone Wolf Studios.
