BIOGRAPHY

Australian native, Adrian Carr, is a director and multi award-winning film editor best known for The Man from Snowy River starring Kirk Douglas, Tom Selleck's western, Quigley Down Under, and D.A.R.Y.L. a popular sci-fi adventure movie.

Adrian directed the features Now and Forever, starring Cheryl Ladd, The Sword of Bushido, a martial arts drama set in Thailand and the pilot and early episodes of the iconic Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, followed by Warner Bros TV series The New Adventures of Robin Hood.

Then came a foray into directing the live action for a series of ground-breaking Tex Murphy computer games The Pandora Directive starring Barry Corbin/Tanya Roberts and Overseer with Michael York and Tesla Effect starring Steve Valentine and June Lockhart. The Pandora Directive still ranks #9 in AdventureGamers Top 100 All-Time Adventure Games.

Followed by a hustle-style comedy Mind Games for a first time writer/producer.

Two of Adrian’s unsettling dramatic shorts both won awards; Permanent Stays was awarded an ACS Gold Award for Best Drama in Australia and Blood Makes Noise picked up Best Suspense Award at the New York International Independent Film and Video Festival.

Not only is Adrian an accomplished director and editor, he is also a talented stills photographer with many years as the official photographer for the British Academy of Film And Television Arts/Los Angeles.

He won a Bronze Award for the Most Original Calendar for his Naked Cigar Calendar in the National Calendar Awards and is now creating a coffee table book The Naked Cigar with 100 new photographs in the same vein and recently completed a 100 page coffee table book A Ten-Year Retrospective of BAFTA Los Angeles Q&As and Events.

The highly praised interactive-movie full motion video game Tesla Effect: A Tex Murphy Adventure is currently in release on Steam and GOG. Adventure Gamers gave Tesla Effect an Aggie Award for Best Adventure Game Character of 2014 with 10 Reader's Choice awards including for Adventure Game of the Year and Best Traditional Adventure.

Adrian has also directed John Travolta, Samuel L. Jackson, Christian Slater, Anne Archer and Sarah Michelle Gellar, for their roles in a 3-D Imax animation project entitled Quantum Quest.

He is currently in development on the feature film A Dolphin in our Lake starring Noah Wyle, set to lens in September 2020, and Without a Hitch, a Hitchcockian adventure/romance in the South of France and Los Angeles written by Steven E. deSouza [Die Hard], “A Belly Full”, a female-driven comedy set in the world of belly dancing and “PeeksKill”, a Twilight Zone styled supernatural horror.
