Who is Cassiar?
We started as three friends who bonded over our love of cinema and being creative. Our high school TV & Film teacher inspired us each in a different way. Sam went straight to film school after high school. Adam traveled for a year, collecting stories along the way. Justin grew dreadlocks, studied computer engineering, and sailed the Mediterranean. Filmmaking brought us all back together in 2010 and Cassiar was born.
Now, we’re a growing team committed more than ever to putting good into the world through our work.
Adam Wormald
Creative Director & Co-Founder
A childhood spent traveling the world and watching movies, Adam grew to love a good story about ordinary people doing extraordinary things. He first picked up a camera in high school but quickly realized he enjoyed writing and directing more than cinematography and editing. When not at work, Adam spends his time with his wife and four children.
Justin Raine
Managing Partner & Co-Founder
Justin is the technical expert behind Cassiar Film Co., blending his background in computer engineering and business operations with a passion for creativity and problem-solving. He’s always seeking ways to improve processes and elevate the team’s work. As a lifelong learner, Justin balances strategic thinking with a knack for digging into the details to deliver exceptional results.
When he’s not at work, Justin loves cycling through scenic routes, exploring new coffee shops, and planning adventures with his wife, Hannah, and their labradoodle, Polly.
Sam Bryce
Production Lead & Co-Founder
Backstory: Since 1988 Sam has grown. Now reaching 195cm he continues his goal of being the tallest team member at Cassiar. Sam leads our team on set and helps the creative process from start to finish. He likes things more than people, but thinks people are pretty neat anyways. When not turning wheels in the office, Sam can be found turning the wheels of his bicycle. Preferably up hills.
Melody David
Post Production Manager & Video Editor
The post-production anchor. A creative mind with a love for structure, Melody bridges vision and execution in post-production. Drawn to film at a young age, she got her start making home movies and running a YouTube channel before pursuing formal training in film school — where a deep love for editing took hold.
She brings stories to life one frame at a time, ensuring each cut feels as meaningful as the story itself. Melody believes that when done right, editing isn’t just seen — it’s felt.
When the screens go dark, you’ll probably find Melody at a concert somewhere in Vancouver, discovering the next great indie artist or spinning through tracks from every decade imaginable.
Meghan Kellington
Creative Coordinator
Throughout her life, Meghan has been captivated by the art of storytelling. After years spent honing in her coordinating and media skills in the non-profit field, she made the leap to follow her lifelong dream of pursuing a career in film, which led her to Cassiar.
With an eye for detail and a heart for people, Meghan plays a key role in both pre-production and production by coordinating logistics and handling the many moving pieces that help each shoot run seamlessly. She loves that her role has so much variety of administrative, hands on, and hospitality related tasks.
Meghan is a people person through and through. Outside of work, she loves spending quality time with loved ones, and taking part in local theatre productions both on and off stage.
