Sterling Bishop(I)
- Editor
- Producer
- Director
Born and raised in Boise, Idaho, Sterling developed an eye for
directing during his teen years. In 1990, he spent the summer studying
Video Production at the Art Institute of Seattle. He continued pursuing
his passion the following summer at Boise State University. In 1993,
the opportunity to apprentice Ron Contarsy in New York City arose
allowing Sterling to spend the remainder of the year in the Big Apple.
His apprenticeship opened many doors and gave him the opportunity to
photograph fashion models for Next and Elite Models around Manhattan.
After years working as a Fashion Photographer, Sterling's interests in
motion pictures sparked a relocation to Los Angeles and the writing of
his first film, "Duel on Planet Z." Upon entry into the Newport Film
Festival, the film gained distribution by Smash Cuts Super Sci-Fi.
Several shorts later, in 2005, Sterling created his own production
company called Hip How Hang Productions. His flare for comedy and
sensational sense of humor prompted the making of many popular spoof
commercials that soon led to a deal with Monster energy drink and
Mendelsohn/Zien Advertising.
Short commercial spoofs led to feature film spoofs of the popular
"Twilight" series. His YouTube channel gained over a million hits
because of "Not Twilight" and was voted Best Twilight Spoof by the
Sisterhood Pants radio podcast. He continues to write and direct here
in Los Angeles.
