Adam Nelson has had an interesting career as a filmmaker. A life long film fan, Adam did a degree in film before moving into teaching the subject. His first short film as writer and director was The House Near Apple Park and he then went on to make first feature length film Little Pieces. Critically acclaimed, Little Pieces won the Best Independent Feature Film award at the Dorking Film Festival 2015 and was nominated for a National Film Award in the Best Drama category in 2016. Adam’s next film is The Mire, a self-contained thriller which has raised some of its finance through crowdfunding. Adam joined the Movies In Focus podcast to talk about his career as a filmmaker, raising finance for independent films and what he has planned for The Mire.
