In 2001, Adam began work on his first film The Man with a DV Cam along with Mike Hawley.[11] The film was entered into the 2002 Slamdance Film Festival.[12][13][14][15][16][17] Adam and Hawley were the only Canadians in the short-film competition as well as one of two Canadian films at the festival, the other being Lee Demarbre's Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter.[18][19] The film won the Best Poster award at the festival, tied with Lefty-Righty.[20][21] In the late 2000s, Adam began taking photographs for magazines, journals and models including Kate Bock.[22][23][24][25] In 2014 Adam founded Miniature Massive with the aim to "create solutions and designs to make a more positive impact".[26]
