- When Steigert was a boy he would put "shows/ movies" on using action figures for his grandfather.
- In fifth grade Adam attempted to direct a play called "Titanic".
- Adam's inspiration in film making is directly related to George A Romero creator "of the dead" series. When he as a young boy he watched Return of the Living Dead as his first horror movie ever with his grandfather. Not knowing "of the dead" series he mistakenly though Night of the Living Dead was sequel/ prequel to Return of the Living Dead. He quickly found out how wrong that was and began to grow more interested in zombie films coming across George A Romero's Dawn of the Dead.
- Prisoners of the Dead featured over a thousand extras. Adam has been quoted saying "the more the merrier" when it comes to more zombies.
- Adam's inspiration comes from Geroge Romero Dawn of the Dead. He's been often quoted as saying his inspiration came from this horror masterpiece.
- I often think of myself as a writer/editor before being considered a director.
- If you're going to make a sequel to an indie film which only a handful of people are going to see then you need to reinvent the story every time.
- Normally the only way I am able to get through editing my films is with Reese's cups and a glass of cold white milk.
