Stephanie Khoury began her career as a storyteller by documenting life through her drawings. Inspired by the courageous vulnerability of the people who let her into their lives, she now spends her time collecting and collaging moments into films. Stephanie is a documentary editor and producer and was named a Karen Schmeer Diversity in the Edit Room Mentee for 2019-2020. Most recently she edited "Remaining Native," (Anticipated Release 2025) a feature coming-of-age documentary following 18-year-old Ku Stevens, as he pursues his dream of becoming a collegiate athlete while the memory of his great grandfather's escape from an Indian boarding school begins to connect past, present, and future. Previously she worked on "Our Turn To Talk," a feature documentary film focused on teenagers and their experiences living with mental health conditions. She edited several documentary shorts including "Gloves Off," which premiered on BET, and Death Metal Grandma, which premiered at SXSW and was selected as a New York Times OpDoc. Stephanie has had the pleasure of contributing to several non-fiction series such as Vox Media Studio’s "Glad You Asked," the PBS series "The Future of America’s Past," and TIME’s online web-series "The History You Didn’t Learn." While at Talking Eyes Media, Stephanie edited and produced several documentaries and documentary interactives that move beyond the traditional narrative mold. She also frequently contributed to the online magazine Newest Americans, where she edited and produced short stories about the immigrant-rich community in Newark, NJ. Stephanie graduated with a BA in Documentary Studies and Production and minors in Art and Environmental Studies from Ithaca College. She hopes to continue to create meaningful media that inspires empathy and understanding.
