About

First-generation college graduate and Cleveland, Ohio native Steven Caple Jr. has quickly become one of Hollywood’s most sought-after filmmakers. Directing both film and television, his signature touch and artistic lens has landed him multiple directorial awards as well as a name on the Forbes 30 Under 30 list in 2018.

Most recently, he directed TRANSFORMERS: RISE OF THE BEASTS, which was released on June 9, 2023 by Paramount Pictures. Notably, Caple Jr. helmed CREED II starring Michael B. Jordan, Sylvester Stallone and Tessa Thompson. As the second installation of the CREED franchise, heavyweight contender Adonis Creed returns to face off against Viktor Drago, son of Ivan Drago. MGM released the feature in November 2018 and the film has grossed over $200 million at the worldwide box office to date.

Upcoming, Caple Jr. is set to direct THIEVES’ GAMBIT for Lionsgate and is also set to direct and produce BY ALL, written by Juel Taylor and Tony Rettenmaier and also produced by Legendary, Gotham Group and Jennifer Levine. In what has been described as “Collateral” meets “The Warriors” the project is set to be released by Warner Bros and follows a world without the Los Angeles Police Department and the aftermath that ensues.

His debut feature film THE LAND premiered at Sundance 2016. Produced by Macro Ventures, Priority Pictures and Mass Appeal (Nas), the film was picked up by IFC Films and released theatrically in summer 2016. In staying true to his native Cleveland roots, his work in capturing the city’s vivacious spirit lead Cleveland Magazine to acknowledge Caple Jr. as one of Cleveland’s Most Interesting Persons in 2017 with “his push for honest and raw stories.”

Previously, Caple Jr. directed multiple episodes of the BLACK-ISH spinoff GROWN-ISH for Freeform, as well as the mini docu-series RAPTURE for Netflix. His short films have also won awards at the Director’s Guild of America, NBC Shortcuts, American Black Film Festival, and more.  Furthering his pursuit of excellence, Caple Jr. also entered the world of commercial directing, collaborating with clients ranging from Google, Delta, to the NFL.

With Steven’s passion for humanity at the forefront, he tackles issues beyond the camera lens and within his community. Caple co-founded Engage the Vision, a non-profit organization that mentors youth in his community and helps foster the new generation of creative minds.
