In 2011, Adam earned a Higher Diploma in Film from Ballyfermot College of Further Education and secured the Writer / Director role in that year’s final group project "The Cross”. The Cross premiered in the Belfast Film Festival and was nominated for a Student media award for Best Screenplay.
After graduating he moved to London to pursue a career in the editorial department working on many high quality TV Dramas and Feature Films. In 2017, Adam stepped up as Editor on the hit BBC show “Death in Paradise” a show that, at the time, earned close to 10 million viewers an episode. He was only 27 years old at the time.
The same year he completed his next short film "The Box" starring Andrew Bennett and Ned Dennehy. The Box screened in over thirty festivals worldwide earning various awards including Best Film in the Wexford Film Festival and was nominated for Best Comedy in the Fastnet Film Festival. It was screened on RTE, Ireland’s national broadcaster once in 2018, and again in 2020.
In 2021, Adam shot his next short “Snooze" which was highlighted as a Market Pick at the Clermont-Ferrand Film Festival (Top 5% of the market). It was nominated and won various awards including Best Irish Short in the Offline Film Festival. Snooze was picked up by sales agent Network Ireland Television and has since sold to various broadcasters around the world including HBO EE, Swiss TV & Aer Lingus.
In 2025, Adam completed his new short film ’Til Death Do Us Part", a dark comedy starring Joe Mullins (Pilgrim Hill, The Line) and Denise McCormack (Love/Hate, Kin, Red Rock). The film is preparing to begin its festival run, with premiere details to be announced soon.
Currently Adam is writing his feature project “Brendan did a bad thing.” a tragedy set in rural Ireland exploring themes of family, masculinity and morality.
