All About Adam

My name is Adam Stephenson and I am the proud owner of Captivate.

I've spent 20+ years making movies, writing scripts, and filming both created and candid scenes. My trick for success has been surrounding myself with talented and like-minded people.

It takes a solid team to make a great film. I learned this many years ago and continue to apply this philosophy in all of my filmmaking practices.

My love of narrative storytelling has kept me active in the Niagara Region where I am firmly rooted — with an amazing family and of course, talented colleagues.

"My aspiration for Captivate is to have the creative freedom to explore and express unique and diverse ideas through moving pictures and photographs."
