About: Adam is a graduate of the University of North Carolina at Asheville, where he majored in Multimedia Arts & Sciences. He brings his graphic design and cinematographic expertise to the team in a refreshingly uncharacteristic manner, as he chooses to construct the film’s titles and effects through use of a modified Power Glove instead of a traditional computer mouse. Adam was one of the directors of Gamers of the Lost Ark, an official selection in the RiverRun International Film Festival.
