Adrian
Adrian was born and raised in Edmonton, Alberta, and moved to the west coast in 1997 to pursue a degree in fine arts. While completing his BFA at the Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design (1998-2001) he received a Helen Pitt Award (2000) and began exhibiting work in Vancouver and Toronto. He became involved with the local art collaboration ‘T&T’ (Tony Romano and Tyler Brett) and created videos for Tyler’s solo band ‘The Dept.’ In 2005, Adrian directed and produced a limited release DVD featuring a selection of these videos entitled The Dept. Five videos by Adrian.
While pursuing his art practice he began working in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside (2001-2005) as a community outreach worker. His debut short film, Cardboard Cutout, was created directly after he was forced to leave his job due to an incident with a violent patron. His respect and compassion for the DTES community and the plight of those on the margins of society are at the heart of this film.
