Having graduated from Film School in 2003, Adam wasted no time in setting up his production company with his late business partner, Ryan Poole.

The Star Film Company was born while in his honours year at AFDA and today is considered one of the most influential production companies within South Africa with a multimillion rand turnover.

Along with co-owners, Tristan Holmes and Tebza Malope, Adam focuses on the production of short form content for the advertising industry. In his tenure his work has managed to pick up numerous trophies and awards from festivals around the world.

Besides for these accolades, Adam has produced work across the globe. From Los Angeles to Accra, Cairo to Cape Town, Moscow to Nairobi, and many more. The excitement for Adam is the lack of the mundane office cubicle and that each day brings a new experience.

Putting the money in front of the camera and making sure scheduling and logistics is always on point. Over his time in the industry, Adam has made a great name for himself as Executive Producer and is a well respected individual.
