AboutAdam and Elliott
We’ve been best friends and creative partners for more than three decades. We built Adam and Elliott around a shared belief: people become more interesting the closer you look. Meeting someone fascinating is a thrill. But something happens when the frame widens to include someone else. A friend. A rival. A parent. A child. A stranger. We begin to see who that person really is through the way they connect, collide, love, disappoint, surprise, and change one another. That’s where we find the story. We look closer. Then we widen the frame.

The Story So Far
Just before 4th grade, Adam and Elliott both moved to Texas. One of them was allowed to play football, and the other wasn't. This led to enormous success and popularity for one, and obscurity and orchestra class for the other. In said orchestra class, Adam was a horrible cellist, and his teacher told him so, but suggested he take acting classes, due to his good humor and tremendous "energy".
Skip to 7th grade, and the lauded football player Elliott and that failed cellist Adam share a computer literacy class (both still struggle with computers to this day) which sparked a lifelong friendship between the unlikely duo. They discovered they shared a passion for good laughs, big questions, and becoming better humans and made a connection that fused their two worlds together.
Adam entered Elliott's world, playing football at school, but had to leave early for acting classes, so the whole team found out he was an "actor". Elliott expressed his passion for movies, and they decided to become movie stars. After an injury set Elliott back on the field, he jumped into the acting thing, and both landed roles on a local tv show. They went on to win awards in theatre, score scholarships, and start a non-profit arts organization to make original works for nearly a decade. They produced the jukebox musical, Rainbow Country: The Story of Bob Marley, and the controversial drama, The Willie Lynch Letters.
Now, 40 years later, they have a movie company creating human driven docs and genre bending features. After serving every role they could on stage, they've been in front, behind, and beneath the camera. From acting school to non profit theatre, guerrilla filmmaking to network television, it's been a humbling experience, but they've persisted, grabbing up an Emmy, Telly's, Audience Awards at top tier festivals, and paychecks to feed their families. Most importantly, they've spent a lifetime pushing the ball toward the end zone to scoop up one more win for the home team, and hopefully rouse the spirits of the whole community.
Now, Adam and Elliott are married to Texas gals, both have families, and run their company out of the historic Polytechnic Heights community in Fort Worth. They created early work like Windsor starring Barry Corbin and The Flood starring Ed Asner. Recent work includes the Amazon Prime original "The Vast of Night", the Emmy Award winning annual broadcast on NBC "Opal's Walk for Freedom LIVE", and the upcoming docs "Opal's Walk" and "Queens of Freedom" about Dr. Lee's work and the Miss Juneteenth pageant, formerly featured in the narrative film sensation "Miss Juneteenth" from Channing Godfrey Peoples.
