Adam Cruz

Producer - Adam Cruz began his love affair with the movies at an early age. As a young boy dreaming about the celluloid world, Adam was determined to cultivate, and master his screen writing skills as well as school himself in the art of film making.

Adam's first major entree into the business came in 1988 with an opportunity to work at Broadcast Arts - a New York based commercial/SFX production house. Broadcast Arts was well known for producing a variety of high profile commercials (Bud Light- Super Bowls) and music videos (Madonna's "Who's That Girl") and the first season of the television series "Pee-Wee's Playhouse."

Between 1994 and 1995 Adam was a media teacher for four semesters at the state run institute named Neon, Inc. (a not-for-profit organization). As a teacher he taught his students to study and understand media in all its forms and guided them in producing independent projects by training them in all the aspects of film and video production including editing.

During this time, he also served as the associate producer on "Palante! Siempre, Palante!" a 60 minute documentary centering on the history of the social activists group known as the " Young Lords."

In 1996 Adam became the assistant to the CFO at Curious Pictures. During his time there he oversaw aspects in both the financial and production divisions of this entertainment/production company, while it produced television commercials and original programming, which have included "Sheep in the Big City", the animated Christmas special "Little Spirit", "A Little Curious" for HBO , "Kids Next Door" for Cartoon Network and "Little Einstein" for the Disney Channel.

Adam is currently running his production company Thunder Child Productions, with his business partner Ruth Cruz. Thunder Child currently has a number of projects in development.
