Adrian is a double BAFTA award-winning filmmaker named on Screen International’s ‘Stars of Tomorrow’ list. He is a versatile director with over twenty years of experience in drama, documentary, comedy, and television commercials.
The summer of 2024 has seen Adrian direct the additional photography and reshoots for the Outlander prequel Blood of My Blood for Sony/Starz, and the 2nd Unit for the new Jamie Dornan thriller THE UNDERTOW for NETFLIX and Complete Fiction. In 2023, he split his year between directing the hit 4-part thriller series UNDER HER SKIN for Gaumont/Banijay and Channel 5, and directing the 2nd Unit for all six episodes of SAS: ROGUE HEREOS S2 for Kudos/ Banijay.
Prior to this, Adrian spent eight months working as the 2nd Unit Series Director on Lucasfilm’s action-adventure TV follow-up to Ron Howard’s original 80’s movie Willow. He directed drama, action and VFX sequences across all eight episodes of the Disney+ show, also stepping up to direct the main unit during COVID emergencies.
In 2021, Adrian was hired as the lead director on Julia Donaldson’s Princess Mirror-Belle for BBC Studios, directing two episodes of the first season. This is Julia’s first live-action adaptation. During the second Covid lockdown, Adrian directed the Two Doors Down Christmas 2020 comedy special, written by Simon Carlyle and Gregor Sharp and produced by BBC Studios. It screened on primetime BBC2, receiving a number of four and five-star reviews. Before this, he directed the reshoots and Second Unit for the
BAFTA Nominated BBC1 submarine thriller Vigil, produced by World Productions and starring Suranne Jones and Martin Compston.
In 2019, Adrian directed the 2nd Unit on the Sony and Starz drama series Outlander – directing across all twelve episodes in season 5, including the epic battle sequences in Ep 507 for director Stephen Woolfenden. Following this, he was hired by Archery Pictures to direct the re-shoots and 2nd unit for the young adult NETFLIX drama Fate – The Winx Saga created by Brian Young (Vampire Diaries). The show launched on the 22nd of January 2021 and has maintained the NETFLIX number-one spot worldwide for over a week. In 2018, Adrian was hired as the Lead Director of two major shows for Jane Roots’ Nutopia. The six-part NETFLIX series The Last Czars, chronicling the demise of the Romanov dynasty – which streamed to over 25 million viewers in the first few weeks and featured on the NETFLIX Top 5 list in the U.S., and Jesus: His Life, an eight-part event series commissioned by A+E Networks for The History Channel. It sold to all territories worldwide.
In 2018, AMAZON PRIME launched Adrian’s four-part documentary series Grand Prix Driver, with unprecedented access to the legendary Formula One team McLaren and their superstar drivers – including two-time World Champion Fernando Alonso – during their most turbulent pre-season in recent history. Academy Award Winner Michael Douglas narrates the show.
Adrian’s passion is to tell unique human stories in a visceral, cinematic and intimate fashion.
