Following the 2010 BBC Broadcast of Adam’s award-winning SILENT THINGS starring Andrew Scott, Adam was awarded emerging producer status by Film London and subsequently went on to produce the physiological noir thriller EMULSION starring Outlander’s Sam Heughan.

His follow-up film, the environmental documentary DRYING FOR FREEDOM, tackles the issues of clothesline bans in America, secured US distribution and was broadcast on PBS to critical claim.

Adam subsequently partnered with now long-time collaborator Writer/Director Dan Pringle on the development of K-SHOP, a Sweeney Todd-inspired movie pitching a kebab shop owner against hordes of obnoxious binge-drinking punters, which went on to land him a BIFA nod in the breakthrough Producer category. The pair also collaborated on DIE BEFORE YOU DIE about a hot-headed influencer who finds himself trapped six feet underground.

In 2022 Adam launched BH_Movies with directing duo Tim Clague and Danny Stack producing TO ENGLAND, WITH LOVE and A VERY ENGLISH CHRISTMAS for Canadian studio Reel One Entertainment. Recently Adam produced DEADLY DOUBLE DATE a Tubi Original.
