About Me

I'm a dedicated and extremely motivated independent filmmaker from South Jersey. I run an indie production company named SaintSinner Entertainment. Before I get any further into the current stuff going on, I want to recognize one of the coolest people I've ever met, a guy who was a great friend and business partner, a man who unfortunately left this earth much, much too soon, and that is Mr. Brian L. Jones.We had many great times that I'll always miss, but Adam and I plan to keep his memory alive through some of the work he touched. Here's some pics of us with various people at different functions. Rest in peace my friend. We miss you. (top to bottom, Robert Davi (The Goonies), director Curtis Hanson (8 Mile, L.A. Confidential), Michael Jai White (Spawn), Dalene Curtis (Playboy playmate), Bill Moseley (House of 1000 Corpses), and Kevin Bacon (Footloose).
I started in the biz 8 years ago as an actor, training at Weist Barron-Ryan of Atlantic City for a year and a half. From there, I delved into writing and directing small little digital projects, which is where I found my love for both of these things. I'm also screenwriter who has scripted 19 screenplays, with three on the way.Directed my first feature film a couple years ago titled Acrimony, which was a very difficult process for many reasons, but was an experience that ultimately has made me a tougher and stronger figure in business. HERE'S A COUPLE PRODUCTION STILLS FROM ACRIMONY (first one with me and Damaris Nieves, second one with Adam Ciesielski & Suzi Lorraine)Directed a short film called Coffee Thoughts, which came out pretty cool. (set stills of me directing on set)I just wrapped producing an awesome psychological horror thriller titled Hush, which starred Adam Ciesielski (Fear of Clowns 2), Brea Bee (Invisible Mountains), Courtney Gains (Sweet Home Alabama), Reggie Bannister (Phantasm), Bill Allen (Rad), Clayton Myers (Nimrod), Jeremy Zelig ("As the World Turns"), Dennis Ronin (Murder Below the Line), Mark Lassise (Fear of Clown 1-2), Laura Lynn Cottrel (In Search Of), and Tony Todd (Candyman). Hush was scripted & directed by Amel J. Figueroa. Check out some poster art and set pics below from Hush.The new teaser for "HUSH" is here. Watch it below. _____________________________________________MORE PICS OF NETWORKING WITH VARIOUS TALENT IN THE BIZ (from top to bottom, right to left-me, Amel, Adam, & Bill Allen (Rad)/Amel, me, & Gina Marie Heekin (2001 Maniacs)/me, Amel, & Shannon Sossamon (The Rules of Attraction)/me, Amel, & director Goran Dukic (Wristcutters: A Love Story)/me, Amel, & director/prodcuer Lee Daniels (Monster's Ball)/Amel, me, & Aimee Lynn Chadwick (A Cinderella Story)/me, Amel, Colin Farrell (S.W.A.T.) & Shea Whigham (Wristcutters: A Love Story)/me, Amel, Tamara Gorski ("Angel") & Cerina Vincent (Cabin Fever)/me, Adam, Amel, Courtney Gains (Can't Buy Me Love) & Silas Weir Mitchell ("Prison Break") & us without Silas/me & Amel with awesome director Tim Sullivan (2001 Maniacs), me & Amel with Nicole Agostino/me with pro wrestler/actor Diamond Dallas Page.

(me with Kevin Connelly ("Entourage"), me with actress/singer Tracie Thoms (Rent), & actress Rosario Dawson (Sin City).I'm also in talks with a few production companies in regards to co-producing a couple other projects, those being the dramatic action television pilot "Jersey's Finest", and the action western dramedy feature Shoot Out of Luck, which is set to star music legend Willie Nelson. Check out some pics from a featurette shoot for Shoot Out below.

Which Horror Killer are You?
created with QuizFarm.com
You scored as Candyman. You are the Candyman. You love living in the spotlight, and being feared. But should anyone question you, you make sure they suffer for their mistakes. You will go on, with people quietly talking about the evil that lives within you, while hoping they never have to experience it.
