Davis spent 14 years at The Famous Group, where he directed and led editorial on high-profile projects for ESPN, NBC Sports, major professional sports teams and leagues, and brands including the NBA, Qualtrics, and Sony. In 2025, Steve recognized the growing potential of hybrid production workflows that preserve the reliability, craft, and creative control of traditional filmmaking while using generative AI to accelerate pre-production, expand creative possibilities, and enhance post-production. That vision became the foundation for North of Real, a hybrid production studio built to integrate GenAI throughout the established production process without sacrificing premium, human-led cinematic results. Now serving as the GenAI production arm of Epic Arc Productions, North of Real helps clients move faster, visualize bigger, and create work that pushes beyond what was previously possible while still feeling distinctly human.
