Life Changing Work: Documentary Film Producer Leibowitz’s Journey from New Canaan to Netflix

By |

The art of filmmaking resonated with Adam Leibowitz at an early age—during a time when he and his family were living in New Canaan. One family member Leibowitz credits that feeling to is his father Dennis. There were numerous occasions at their home on Turtle Back Road when the elder Leibowitz would have his son watch movies with him—not just the recent releases but the timeless classics, too. “My dad definitely got me interested in older films, especially Alfred Hitchcock’s,” Leibowitz recalled on a recent afternoon. “I remember going to a screening in New York City of a restored version of Hitchcock’s ‘Vertigo’ with him, and I think that was one of the first times I became aware of filmmaking as an art form and could be something I could aspire to do with my life.”
