Adam's Apple
Adam has returned to the Stand-Up Scene after a brief hiatus following a personal tragedy. However, the much anticipated return of his classic chauvinistic set takes a strange downward turn as a routine joke forces Adam to deal with the loss of his daughter, live on stage.
A commentary on masculinity and grief.
Made with the Support of Sandstorm Studios.

As a filmmaker I have always been interested in the notion of identity and storytelling within the world we live in and in our communication of character, whether real or fictional. Having chosen a career in the Film and Media Industries I hope to continue to put this natural curiosity of mine into a visual format, telling stories through the medium of Film Making and Visual Media.
Adams Apple was born from a Festival Compeititon win from my last Short Film 'Backseat' which awarded me a free equipment and crew grant for a one day film shoot. Immediately I knew I wanted to tackle a topic around masculinity and mental health as they are two topics I am always interested in exploring and had, until that point, been waiting for the right opportunity to do so. The idea behind Adam was to build a character that historically had adopted a very chauvinistic persona, and had even profited from doing so, who was then forced to question everything he had been riding on after a very personal tragedy. Seeing that unfold in the films powerful monologue from Pete Piction (in the role of Adam) was an absolute pleasure.
