About Adam

Focused and driven Director/Screenwriter. I tell stories about lost souls looking for a place to call home.

Having started the company Apple Park Films I began development of my first feature film 'Little Pieces'​ which was completed in early 2015 and is currently garnering critical acclaim. I wrote and Directed the piece.

After a successful review and festival run with Little Pieces I developed, produced and directed the short film Emotional Motor Unit. After another successful media and festival campaign for Emotional Motor Unit, I wrote and directed Toilet Humor as a segment of the anthology feature film I Am An Addict for Pastel Wasteland. My second feature film, The Mire, is currently in post-production.

In 2019 I completed Talent Campus 5.0 as past of the London Screenwriters Festival.

Unique traits: I make films about lost souls looking for a place to call home.
