Adam Mason

Adam Mason was born in Cambridge in 1975. He graduated from the London Film School, and directed and produced more than 90 music videos over the next seven years, as well as several award winning short films.

In 2004 he started production on Broken, a feature film made for less than £5000, that ultimately found distribution through The Weinstein Company and won many awards worldwide. A few months later he directed The Devil's Chair, which was officially selected for the Toronto Film Festival, won many festival awards and was distributed to great international acclaim through Sony.

He followed up the great success of The Devil's Chair with Blood River, a psychological thriller he shot in an authentic abandoned ghost town in the middle of death valley.

He is currently in post production on his next two films, Luster and Pig and is also developing a slate of feature and television scripts.
