About Adam

Application Developer with a penchant for screenwriting.
From West Midlands, UK but Yorkshire based since 2020.

I mainly write features - gravitating towards drama and comedy - particularly dark and understated in tone. My protagonists are often flawed underdogs from working class backgrounds as this is the world I know best.

Attendee - 2018 + 2020 London Screenwriters Festival
Attendee - 2019 John Yorke's Advanced Structure course.
Previous organiser of Write then Socialise - Birmingham. A meet up for screenwriters where (you guessed it) you write, and then socialise.

Current/On-going Projects:

MOPE FOR MILES (feature length comedy drama) - After being rejected at an office party, a timid city worker's long walk home leads to unexpected encounters that forces them to find a newfound inner strength.

MASTER BREWER (30 minute sitcom) - A flamboyant hipster struggles to control the reprobates that frequent his microbrewery.

OVER A BARREL (feature length drama) - In a long suffering industrial town, an ageing landlord must protect his gaff and the community from a dangerous gang while also resisting crooked developers looking to turn the area into an upmarket retail park.

THE GOLDEN MILE (feature length drama) - Once a celebrated comedian, Frank's rise from fame to addiction takes an unexpected twist when he befriends an immigrant battling similar demons. As the past resurfaces, Frank's quest for redemption encounters scrutiny, jeopardizing his rehabilitation and the fragile father-daughter bond he's desperately trying to rebuild.

RUTHLESS (feature length comedy/thriller) - A feisty granny is kidnapped by two crooks who’re rejected a loan by granny’s estranged banker son. When the son callously refuses to pay the ransom, the granny conspires to get the money for herself before the ransom deadline expires.
