Our Story
Cadjo Studio is a production company based in Prince Edward Island, Canada. Named to honour the Acadian storytellers of old, who would travel village to village, sharing legends and folktales with the people. In this tradition our work aims to rouse the spirit and deepen the imagination of each viewer.
It is our duty to recognize the mystery but never try to explain it;
to find some meaning, then give it away. We believe in open windows and loud music. We want to invent and inspire.
By walking lightly and reaching high, we carry on.
The Man Behind The Curtain
Director & Founder
Charlie Steele
Canadian filmmaker and writer passionate about telling original stories that sing the praises of life’s beauty.
"I have known Charlie for years and have had the pleasure of working on three separate film productions with him. Over the years I have witnessed Charlie’s extraordinarily strong creative eye. He’s constantly coming up with new creative ideas and is always ready to collaborate with others." - Karina Meidell, Producer
"As a working actor for over 10 years, Charlie is one of the best directors I have had the pleasure to work with. He is not only a creative, prepared, and hard-working director, he is also a thoughtful collaborator." - Jacob Hemphill, Actor
"As someone who has done extensive editing in the past, his vocabulary of cutting technique and style made the process one of the smoothest I’ve ever experienced. Charlie always knew on a gut level what he was looking for and how to express the emotion that the scene needed to convey."
- Evan Winch, Editor
