Steve J. Adams
British Columbia
Steve J. Adams is a Vancouver-based director of true crime and genre-driven documentaries made for mass audiences, with the visual instincts of a creative director.
He co-directed Satan Wants You with longtime creative partner Sean Horlor. It broke out of SXSW 2023, where Variety called it "this year's scariest documentary," and went on to win the Audience Award at Fantasia, a Rockie Award at Banff, and Best Canadian Documentary from the Vancouver Film Critics Circle, with a 95% on Rotten Tomatoes. His first feature, Someone Like Me (National Film Board of Canada), won the Rogers Audience Award at Hot Docs 2021.
He is currently directing Finding Jodi, a three-part true crime series produced by Fifth Season and Studio BRB, shooting this fall in BC. His development slate includes The Remembering, a scripted horror feature backed by Creative BC, and Public Record, a documentary that turns the lens on the true crime industry itself.
Alongside his film work, Steve designs visual identities for film and entertainment clients, and is represented for commercials by Boldly.
