ADRIAN WILLS reveals emotionally intimate stories in his work. He has written and directed short dramas about Alzheimer’s (The Next Day) and gambling addicts (Big Money), and directed documentaries on the surf guitarist Dick Dale, the students of the National Circus School, young opera singers, and the renowned Québécois author and playwright Michel Tremblay. His last two documentaries (Corteo: Behind The Curtain and In The Hands of Michel Tremblay) were nominated for four Gémeaux awards: Adrian won for Best Director for In The Hands of Michel Tremblay. For the past five years, Adrian has been a freelance documentary filmmaker for Cirque du Soleil. His first feature documentary, All Together Now, intimately depicts the collaboration between The Beatles and Cirque for the show Love. Adrian recently graduated from the Canadian Film Centre (2008) in Toronto, where he directed the short drama The Hunt.
