Adam Kirkey is a renowned Canadian writer, director, and producer, whose illustrious career has spanned multiple mediums and formats. Following his graduation from the Toronto Film School, Adam made his feature film debut with 'A Case of Deceit', a gripping independent action piece shot on a modest budget of $20,000. The film's global distribution, handled by E-ONe Entertainment, was a testament to Adam's ability to craft compelling narratives and connect with audiences worldwide.

As his career progressed, Adam branched out into children's educational television, online sports betting shows, and music videos for a diverse range of artists. He also honed his editing skills by working on the popular Epic Meal Time online series, eventually taking on a production role for the show's food travel program.

In addition to his work in television and film, Adam has written and directed numerous short films that have garnered critical acclaim and won several awards. His most recent feature film, 'Sir John A. and the Curse of the Anti-Quenched', is a comedy that boasts an impressive cast of Canadian stars, including Spencer Rice, Paul Spence, and the late John Dunsworth.

Adam's documentary experience is equally impressive, with a focus on corporate projects that involve sensitive subject matter. He has worked with organizations such as the JNFOttawa and the Children's Aid Society, producing in-depth documentaries that profile children seeking adoption and highlight case work strategies and success stories. These projects have provided Adam with valuable skills in understanding complex subject matter and creating engaging final products.
