MAX S. ADAMS (Co-Screenwriter) co-wrote the upcoming action thriller Extraction, and recently completed writing and directing the film Precious Cargo, starring Bruce Willis, Claire Forlani, and Mark-Paul Gosselaar, which is based on his 2008 short of the same name. As a screenwriter, Adams’s credits include the recently announce screen adaptation of House To House, U.S. Army Staff Sgt. David Bellavia’s war memoir about the Second Battle of Fallujah for Universal and Imagine, and an adaptation of Ridley Pearson’s novel The Risk Agent, a China-set thriller from a series of books, for Vince Vaughn and Universal. Born in Camp Pendleton, California, Adams began his love affair with movies as a child, developing an encyclopedic knowledge of cinema. When Adams enlisted in the Army after graduating high school, he brought his love of film (and extensive DVD collection) with him, and often entertained his fellow soldiers by quoting movie lines and monologues from films such as Rambo, Patton, Heartbreak Ridge and The Karate Kid. During one such performance two years into his service, Adams’s ability to memorize and recite long passages impressed one of his commanding officers, and soon the M-3 Gustav gunner and team leader in the 1st Ranger Battalion found himself on his way to the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, New York. While a cadet at West Point, Adams became well-known for his knowledge of film, organizing movie nights, and making short films, such as the spoof Temptation Barracks, to make his fellow cadets laugh. After graduating as a Second Lieutenant in June 2001, Adams became an officer in the 3rd Infantry Division, and upon his deployment to Iraq, where he took part in the initial ground invasion, Adams was assigned as commander of his battalion’s Quick Reaction Force. Following his honorable discharge from the Army in 2006, Adams studied film production at Florida State University, receiving a Masters of Fine Arts degree in 2008. He began his career writing and directing short films such as Paternity Test (which he also edited), Precious Cargo (which was his MFA Florida State thesis), and Saint Nick. He also worked as the cinematographer and editor on the shorts, Harvest Moon and Exposure. Adams also worked as a writer’s production assistant and personal video playback assistant to filmmaker Martin Scorsese for the pilot episode of the critically acclaimed HBO® series “Boardwalk Empire”. Adams continued to work on the series as a camera assistant for episodes 2-12, and credits its award-winning creator, writer-producer Terence Winter (“Sopranos”) and writer-director-executive producer Timothy Van Patten mentors.
