Her most widely-seen screen credits have been The Sweet Hereafter, Maelstrom, Revoir Julie and Forbidden Love. Stephanie has been twice nominated for Genie (Canadian Academy) Awards: for directing the short film Remembrance, which she also co-wrote and co-starred in with her husband Mark Ellis, and co-directing (with her brother Mark Morgenstern) the short film Curtains, which she also wrote and played the lead in.
