Steve Hoban was born in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, in 1964.[1] Hoban told Screen International that his favorite film is Taken, but not for creative reasons; Hoban said that he admires the film for its repeatable business model and success at the American box office despite its lack of traditional indicators of success.[2]

In 2001, Hoban co-founded 49th Parallel, a Montreal-based film production company. Among the early projects that they produced was Natali's 2003 film Nothing and Landreth's 2004 short Ryan.[5] Hoban's new company, Copperheart Entertainment, is based in Toronto.[6]
