Meet the Producers: Justin Adams
As we close in on final casting decisions for The Anniversary, we will be introducing the key players involved in the project one by one. We begin today with producer Justin Adams.
Justin Adams was working as a producer of a political discussion show on local cable television when he decided he wanted to go into debt. Three years later, he completed his MFA in Film and Electronic Media at American University. After completing his degree, he focused on independent productions and has worked in positions ranging from production assistant, grip, unit manager, editor, director and producer. Justin’s first feature-length film was Logan Circle’s Last Winter, for which he won Peer Gold at the 2009 DC Peer Awards for Field Sound Production. Since then he has been working on “green” video projects at NOAA. He now returns to Logan Circle Films to co-produce The Anniversary. And he is happy to report that he is making progress paying off his student loans.
“When Stephen showed me the script, I felt I had to be a part of this project. So when he and Rob asked me to step in and help produce this project, I jumped at the chance. Since I’ve worked with Stephen and Rob before, I know they share a similar respect for the art of film. This was an opportunity I couldn’t pass up.”
