Meet Adrian
I’m Adrian, a film director, writer, and producer with over 25 years of experience in the media industry. I’ve directed nine feature films and numerous award-winning television and film projects of various scales that have been recognized internationally.
With over 25 years in film, it has been an amazing journey. I’ve worked around the world on numerous international projects and gained so many unique experiences — from the UK and the US to Asia and Africa — and I’ve had the privilege of collaborating with renowned filmmakers such as Jackie Chan, Peter Greenaway, and Jean-Claude Van Damme. I feel both a responsibility and an honor to share my passion and experiences. I’ve taught film and new media at universities, led over a hundred seminars, and continue to teach and inspire others today.

Our Signature Filmmaking Course
With over 25 years of experience in the film industry, from directing nine theatrical feature films (including international productions with budgets exceeding 100 million) to creating independent short films and producing/directing documentaries, I’m excited to share my global filmmaking expertise with you through an intensive 6-hour, extendable Film Directing Masterclass.
Real directing goes far beyond what happens on set. A director’s work begins long before production and continues all the way through post-production and distribution. In this masterclass, we will cover the entire journey, giving you a complete understanding of what it truly means to be a director.
You won’t be learning from a textbook or generic advice. Instead, you’ll gain real international experience, practical techniques, and the valuable behind-the-scenes secrets that only come from decades of professional work.
