Adam Seybold
@adamseybold
Award-winning screenwriter and story editor crafting film and television from stage to screen.
What I'm looking for
I’m an award-winning writer, director, and actor with an MFAActing program from York University. My work spans film, television, and theatre, and I’ve been featured across multiple productions. I also completed my first novel, The Girl and the Monster.
In screenwriting, my feature work includes Let Her Out, which reached record breaking sales for Breakthrough Entertainment and Black Fawns Films. My play The De Chardin Project won a Dora Mavor Moore Award for Outstanding New Play in 2013. I bring story-first clarity to every script—writing, and when needed, story-editing to strengthen momentum and character.
I currently write and develop feature and television projects including Needle’s Eye, Study In Midnight, Under Duress, and American Monster, plus ongoing series work like Rosenberg and Filmores. I’ve also worked as a Story Editor on features such as AntiSocial 2 and The Hexacutioners. Across every format, I aim to keep the voice sharp and the stakes clear from page one.
On the stage side, I’ve written theatre credits including The De Chardin Project (February 2013) and performances under The Quickening Theatre. I’m equally comfortable collaborating with producers and directors while protecting the creative intent of the story. For me, the through-line is simple: build compelling worlds, then make them actable, producible, and unforgettable.
