Steve Camelio ’96 CLAS
After a successful career as a freelance writer and editor at In Style magazine in New York City, Steve Camelio ’96 volunteered to be snowed-in at Yellowstone National Park for a winter (think 'The Shining' with more wolves, less ghosts). The following year he wrote the Montana-set, fly fishing, veterans, PTSD drama 'Mending The Line,' which was awarded a Big Sky Film Grant. The film's world premier was at the opening night of the 2022 Woodstock Film Festival, and it won the Valor Award at the 2022 San Diego International Film Festival. A graduate of Villanova University, Steve holds master’s degrees in English education from New York University and Irish literature from Queens University in Belfast, Northern Ireland. He lives with his wife and two daughters in Bozeman, Montana, where he fishes, hikes and writes about the Big Sky lifestyle.
