Adam Garnet Jones is a Canadian filmmaker and screenwriter.[1]

Of Cree and Métis ancestry,[1] Jones grew up in Alberta and British Columbia.[2] Battling suicidal impulses in his early teens as he came to terms with being gay,[2] he recovered a sense of purpose by making short films and videos and attending the Gulf Islands Film and Television School,[2] and subsequently moved to Toronto, Ontario to study film at Ryerson University.[2] After graduating from Ryerson, his short film Cloudbreaker premiered at the 2006 Toronto International Film Festival,[2] and he coordinated a youth film and video program for Toronto's Inside Out Film and Video Festival.[3]

He subsequently made the short films A Small Thing, Wave a Red Flag and Liar, wrote an episode of the television series Cashing In, and was a writer and story editor on the television series Mohawk Girls.[4]

His feature film debut, Fire Song, premiered at the 2015 Toronto International Film Festival.[5]
