Nootka St. is a film production studio founded by directors and producers Sean Horlor and Steve J. Adams. Known for visually stunning and emotionally raw storytelling that showcases the lives and experiences of real people, our productions have screened for theatrical, television, and online audiences around the world.

Our latest feature documentary, SATAN WANTS YOU, was one of the buzziest and most talked about titles at SXSW 2023—with Variety praising the documentary as "this year's scariest documentary" and critics awarding the film with a 95% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes. The film—which explores the origin story of the global Satanic Panic in the 1980s and '90s—won the Audience Award for Best Documentary at Fantasia International Film Festival and the Vancouver Film Critcs Circle Award for Best Canadian Documentary. It’s currently available for streaming on TUBI in the United States and on CBC Gem in Canada. 

Our debut feature-length documentary SOMEONE LIKE ME—produced by the National Film Board of Canada—was an emotional journey through the immigration sponsorship process in Canada. Following ten strangers over a year as they supported the resettlement of an LGBTQ refugee from Uganda, the film offered an intimate, insightful portrait of humanity and won international acclaim, including the esteemed Roger’s Audience Award at Toronto’s Hot Docs in 2021. 

You can watch our work on TUBI, CBC doc Channel, Bell Media, Telus, Knowledge Network, OUTtv, and the National Film Board of Canada.

Nookta Street has also produced a number of short films, including the award-winning THE DAY DON DIED (Hot Docs 2019, Palm Springs Shortfest 2019), as well as BRUNCH QUEEN (Inside Out 2018) and A SMALL PART OF ME (BFI Flare 2017).

Our path to feature filmmaking began after Sean and Steve appeared on OUTtv’s Hot Pink Shorts documentary series in 2012. Their commercial work has been featured on Mashable, Buzzfeed, E! News, and The Today Show.
