It has screened in over 20 film festivals worldwide, winning awards from Ovation TV, the Festivus Film Festival and others. He recently collaborated with the band Young Circles on an experimental music video titled "Love Hitch", which is described as a psychedelic journey that visualizes the cognitive process of forgetting a lost love; an experience that represents the chemical reactions in our brains. "Love Hitch" took a year to develop and immediately gained recognition in the film and music scenes, premiering at the Festivus Film Festival, being featured by Alternative Press and screening at film and music festivals internationally. Adam is currently at work on an untitled abstract/narrative short film while doing freelance graphic design and video production.
