Born in Vancouver, B.C., Adam has worked and trained all over the world – Vancouver, Berlin, Prague, Denmark, Serbia, Bali, Norway, and Toronto – but now calls New York home. Originally intending to be an academic, Adam earned his B.A. in Philosophy at the University of McGill and continued on to an M.A. at the University of British Columbia. While at U.B.C., his passion for photography led him onto film sets, where he shifted his focus to cinematography. Over the next three years he worked on everything from no-budget student productions to major studio pictures, doing everything from lighting, gripping, camera, sound recording, writing, producing, and directing. In 2001, while living in Prague, he accidentally found himself acting in a sketch comedy show; the experience moved him so profoundly that he knew he had found his calling. This is what he wanted to do for the rest of his life. Knowing that he needed a solid technique, he trained from 2004-2006 at the Atlantic Acting Conservatory in NYC and has been working as an actor ever since. Adam brings all of this experience to bear every time he works on a film. His work as a writer gives him a deep understanding of dramatic structure and a keen ear for dialogue; his work as a technician gives him a profound respect for all the hard work that everyone else has to do; and his work as a producer helps him understand what to cut and what to keep. In short, he has a lot of good ideas about how to make high-quality films on low budgets, and loves to collaborate with others to bring their visions to light. In 2007, he created Well-Drawn Dog Productions as the home for his film projects. His shorts have played at festivals all over the world where they have been nominated for, and won, several awards. His first feature film, Bank$tas, which he wrote and executive produced, premiered at CineFest Sudbury in 2013 and was released theatrically in the U.S. in the fall of 2014 by Main Street Films, and in Canada by D Films. His second film, Yesterday last year, which he wrote and produced, was completed in 2016, shot in 9 days on a budget of $4,500. It premiered at 2017 Sci-Fi London, and played at science-fiction film festivals across the world, winning Best Feature Film at the 6th Annual GeekFest.
