StolenDress Stories specializes in shedding light on the forgotten or nearly forgotten stories of culture and media. Since 2003, we’ve turned educational and informational programming into comedic short pieces and feature films. In 2005, famed paleontologist Sue Hendrickson said that the director of our short film Dinosaurs: They Certainly Were Big “made science palatable to the public, which is the mission of scientists that they seem to fail at and he succeeds. I hope to shake his hand someday.”
Since then, StolenDress Entertainment has specialized in using comedy to tell unique and interesting stories, about everything from stand-up comedians hidden by time to the history of a 1990s sport that turned out to be a prank.
