Biography

November 2022 Update: Three of my projects placed in the Screenplay Festival.

"Placid Valley", my one-hour tv pilot was named a Semifinalist, and "Muddy Fork" and "The Secret Lives of 1861" made the Finals.

"Muddy Fork" was named as an Official Selection in the Finish Line Script Competition.

"And the Winner Is... The Shocking and True, (Not So Much), Story of the 1948 Best Actress Oscars" was named as an Official Selection in the South Carolina Underground Film Festival.

Writer, director, producer and photographer, Stacey Bean, a native Arkansan and former university administrator, first moved to Los Angeles in 1992 to try to write for television. After a friend advised it would be easier to start out writing for theatre in New York, Bean moved to NYC and wrote, produced and directed his first play, “At Play in the Fields of the Trailer Park”, a comedy which ran for two years and became a cult hit in downtown New York. In 1997, Bean took the play to Los Angeles where it ran for a summer to rave reviews and ended up being pitched to the former WB Television Network as a sitcom. From the success of his play, he obtained literary representation and optioned three screenplays in Los Angeles. In 1998 Bean wrote and produced a short film, “Muddy Fork”, which featured three-time Emmy nominee, Michael Kelly, (House of Cards), and premiered at The Austin Film Festival on the same bill with Sandra Bullock’s directorial debut. In the 2000’s, other plays by Bean were produced in Dallas, Ft. Lauderdale and New York. In 2010, Bean created and sold a competition reality show to GRB Entertainment, Emmy winners for the popular reality show, “Intervention.” In 2019, Bean began submitting his screenplays to national screenplay competitions and has placed 35 times. Recently, Bean wrote, produced and directed “Velvet's House Party,” a proof of concept pilot for a television sitcom and is currently in the process of pitching that project to television.
