Steven Bello
Executive Vice President, Film
Steven Bello, a Cuban-American Los Angeles native, is the Executive Vice President of Wonderland Sound and Vision’s feature department, where he has been developing and producing feature films with the Wonderland team since 2009. He thrives on collaborating closely with storytellers that have fresh, unique voices and can transcend traditional genre constraints.
Steven has shot eight films for Netflix in California, Georgia, Louisiana, New Jersey and Vancouver, including the successful horror comedy THE BABYSITTER (Executive Producer), a Blacklist script from the mind of Brian Duffield that Steven brought in and shepherded from development to production to release to spawning a sequel (THE BABYSITTER: KILLER QUEEN). Other credits include Netflix’s top two holiday rom-coms, HOLIDATE (also brought in and executive produced by Bello) starring Emma Roberts and LOVE HARD (Executive Producer) starring Nina Dobrev, which have each been viewed by over half of Netflix’s subscribers; the Netflix family comedy hits TALL GIRL and TALL GIRL 2 (Executive Producer); and the Adam Devine starring insightful time travel rom-com WHEN WE FIRST MET (Executive Producer).
Outside of the Netflix relationship, Steven also worked on the acclaimed CBS Films teen comedy THE DUFF (Executive Producer), based on the YA book from Kody Keplinger, and brought in and developed EVEL, a biopic limited event series about the famous American darevil Evel Knievel, with Universal Cable Productions and USA Network. The project starred Milo Ventimiglia and was 3 days away from principal photography before it was shut down by the pandemic in 2020. Steven is currently in post-production on MÚSICA (Executive Producer) at Amazon Studios, an anti-musical from visionary and star Rudy Mancuso to be released in 2024.
Steven started off in feature development and production with positions at Thunder Road Pictures, Creative Artists Agency, and Mandate Pictures.
