GUEST BIO:
Adam exploded onto the scene fresh out of NYU with the expansion of his thesis film, BOMB THE SYSTEM. The film garnered tons of awards including an Independent Spirit Award for best feature film.

Following the success of his first film, Adam wrote and directed the "pre-scripted actor film" - WEAPONS and the documentary "THE UPSETTERS: the life and music of Lee Scratch Perry." Both films premiered at the Sundance film festival, and Weapons earned a him a Grand Jury Prize nomination.

Next Adam helmed the controversial documentary on Lil' Wayne, THE CARTER. The film was critically acclaimed and premiered at the 2009 Sundance Film Festival where indieWire dubbed it the "best film of the festival", but raised controversy when Lil' Wayne attempted to block the release of the film due to its depiction of his marijuana and cough syrup use.

Since then, Adam's kept busy working on several exciting films including "Panrea," a drama starring Mark Webber and Chloë Sevigny, penned by Adam Mansbach and executive produced by Jim Jarmusch. Lough is also working with producers Edward R. Pressman and David Gordon Green on a horror film titled Splatter Sisters. And, In early 2013 WWE Studios announced plans to develop "Cruisin for a Brusin" an action comedy to bewritten and directed by Lough.
