Savage Steve Holland (born 1960) is an American film and television director, writer, producer, animator and voice actor most known for directing Better Off Dead (1985)[2] and One Crazy Summer (1986), starring John Cusack.

Upon release, they were financial bombs but quickly found an audience through television reruns on HBO and home video rentals.

[1] Subsequently, Holland struggled to find work in Hollywood and took on a work-for-hire job directing How I Got into College (1989), after the original director had dropped out last minute.

He instead turned his attention toward television production; directing children's shows such as The New Adventures of Beans Baxter, Encyclopedia Brown and Lizzie McGuire.

"[1] In 2016, he was reportedly developing a potential semi-sequel to One Crazy Summer with Bobcat Goldthwait, one of the film's original stars, but was unsure if Cusack and Demi Moore would return to reprise their roles.
