Biography
Stone is an independent filmmaker from the Midwestern United States.
His films have been featured at over 250 prominent, well-curated festivals worldwide, and have won numerous awards.
He has made feature-length experimental films, short poem films, short dance films, and other short experimental films.
Stone also is one of the co-producers of, and conducted many of the interviews for, two feature-length documentaries: "Miss Fury and the Lost Legacy of Tarpé Mills" (2024), and "Black Hawk Down: The Untold Story" (DVD 2019).
In 2012, Stone wrote and produced the spoken-word ballet "A Life Unhappening," which is about the impact of one woman's Alzheimer's disease on three generations of her family.
