I like to build trust with clients and colleagues whilst making films that stimulate minds and inform perceptions. I have learnt how effective a good story is when told well. Over 25 years, I have worked in theatre, film and television, comedy, business, sports-media, corporate communications and in the charitable and educational sectors. Personal highlights include appearing in every episode of BBC2s ‘The Office’; producing and directing a series of documentary features on professional football in the Arab world; and #talkaboutsuicide a digital platform I produced for a charity that won Gold for Best Short Film at the New York International Film Festival in 2018. I am excited and delighted to be a founder of shortstories. Our approach offers something fresh and unique to clients who have a requirement for film/video.

Many years of experience at Director level across a wide range of sectors and commercial environments. Whilst a founding member of the team which subsequently became software company Competence Development Ltd, in 2008 also Adrian set up Fine Wine Consultancy business (Provenance), where he remained CEO prior to successful exit in 2014.
