Biography

Adam's illustrious career in feature filmmaking began at the tender age of 19 with his directorial debut, the slasher horror film Home Sick, which boasted an impressive cast featuring the talented Bill Moseley and Tom Towles.

However, it was his sophomore effort, Pop Skull, released when Adam was merely 24 years old, that catapulted him to the spotlight, earning him the reputation as a "talent to watch". Produced on a shoestring budget of approximately $2000, Adam's masterpiece managed to capture the attention of esteemed French distribution company, The Wild Bunch.

The film went on to make its world premiere at the prestigious Rome Film Festival, a testament to its artistic merit, and later, it was also showcased at the American Film Institute Film Festival, further solidifying Adam's status as a rising star in the industry.

Adam's distinctive directing and editing style, often described as dark and abrasive, has drawn comparisons to some of the most innovative and avant-garde filmmakers of our time, including the likes of David Lynch, Darren Aronofsky, and Shinya Tsukamoto, cementing his position as a true original in the world of independent cinema.
