(1888PressRelease) May 08, 2007 - It could easily be called an entire catalog of projects that volley between stage and screen. Adrain is listed as an Associate Producer of "Lifted" (Randy Dottin). He is the writer of an award nominated screenplay, executive producer, writer and director of four shorts and a short documentary, all with a combined total that match the industry standard of a feature. He has planned to shoot one stand alone feature film with a runtime of approximately 105 minutes, as the writer, director and producer. Lastly, Adrain is the writer of a stage play that carries the content that could rival the work of Susan Lori Parks' "TopDog/UnderDog".

Impressive, but none of this is extraordinary until you factor in that all of this is on schedule to happen in less than a year.

Quite noticeably a man on a mission, this seems like a lot for one man to carry. However, Adrain has managed it well.

Adrain states his goal is to surpass standards set by people he considers mentors such as Joe James, Spike Lee, Nelson George, Jim Mckay, Mario Van Peeples, Melvin Van Peeples, Paul Robenson, and Micheal "Boogie" Pickney.
