Hi, I’m Adrien

I’m 33 years old— a storyteller, a video editor, a problem solver, and a very competitive gamer. In the last seven years, I’ve worked as a Content Video Editor at PlayersTV; a Digital Content Producer at Alpha Paw; and the Brand Production Manager at Studio Movie Grill theaters. Before that, I was a freelance filmmaker, video editor, and tech blogger. And before that, a bartender.

History

My first memories were of watching my older sister play Super Mario Bros. 3 on our NES. I began a lifelong obsession with video games and storytelling as soon as I could hold a controller myself. I started video editing when I was fifteen, and at eighteen went to Southern Methodist University in Dallas to study Film and Media Arts.

Everyone has great stories to tell, and I love collaborating with other artists to help them share their story. Whether I’m working with independent filmmakers, a Top 10 theater company, on my own personal writing projects, or playing games with friends, I am always thinking about the stories I’m helping to create. Crafting and delivering meaningful experiences for audiences, players, and readers is why I live and breathe.
