Adam is particularly passionate about teaching the next generation of filmmakers at places like The American Film Institute Conservatory, so we felt very fortunate to have the chance to sit down with him and share the following interview with you.

Salky explains how 12 of his short films were rejected by Sundance Film Festival, but then a feature version of one of his short films, Dare, was accepted. The takeaway? Never give up. Filmmaking is tough. You have to persevere.
