Adam is an aspiring journalist, part-time writer and full-time dreamer, who also harbours optimistic, but deliberately vague, ambitions of scripting and directing a film at a hitherto unspecified future moment which, for argument's sake, we’ll call “someday”.

Generally speaking, Adam doesn’t do lists, but since you’ve gone and put him on the spot, his top three films are: The Third Man, Once Upon A Time In The West and Goodfellas. Ask him again tomorrow and they will be different…

Ensemble film that sees a regular day at the office shattered when the staff notice a banner on the building opposite reading: Man Alone.
