Biografi
Born in Vancouver, B.C., Adam Bradley has worked and trained as an actor all over the world -
Vancouver, Berlin, Prague, Denmark, Serbia, Bali, Norway, and Toronto - but now calls New York home.
Originally intending to be an academic, Adam earned his B.A. in Philosophy at the University of McGill and continued on to an M.A. at the University of British Columbia. While at U.B.C., his passion for photography led him onto film sets as a stills photographer. Inspired by the documentary Visions of Light, he shifted his focus to cinematography and started working as a lighting technician in the fall of 1997. Over the next three years he worked on everything from no-budget student productions to major studio pictures, doing everything from lighting, gripping, camera, sound recording, writing, producing, and directing.
In 2001, while living in Prague, he accidentally found himself acting in a sketch comedy show;
the experience moved him so profoundly that he knew he had found his calling. This is what he wanted to do for the rest of his life. Knowing that he needed a solid technique, he trained from 2004-2006 at the Atlantic Acting Conservatory in NYC and has been working as an actor ever since.
Adam brings all of this experience to bear every time he steps in front of the camera or on stage. His work as a writer gives him both a deep understanding of dramatic structure and a keen ear for dialogue; his work as a technician keeps him humble, with a profound respect for all the hard work that everyone else has to do to make him look good; and his work as a producer helps him understand that sometimes the actor's job is just a minuscule portion of the final product. In short, he has a lot of good ideas about how to make high-quality films on low budgets, and loves to collaborate with others to bring their visions to light.
In 2007, he and his wife Amelia Mathews created Well-Drawn Dog Productions as the home for their film projects, both short-form and feature-length.
