Timeline
Daniel R. Adams (born 1961) is an American feature film director.
Adams grew up in the Boston area.
He attended the University of Vermont in 1980 to 1981 as well as some Harvard Extension School classes in the early 1980s.
He worked for several political campaigns including two gubernatorial campaigns, a race for attorney general, and a presidential campaign.
He directed television commercials for a Boston advertising agency and went into producing feature films in 1989.
He is a proponent of shooting film rather than digital.
He co-wrote and directed his first feature film in 1989, A Fool and His Money (originally titled, Religion, Inc.), which starred Sandra Bullock (Adams cast Ms. Bullock in her first leading role), Jonathan Penner, George Plimpton and Jerzy Kosinski (released through Trimark Pictures - now Lions Gate).
His third feature, which he also wrote and directed, was a comedy entitled, The Mouse, starring Rip Torn and John Savage, and released through Strand Releasing.
His film, The Golden Boys, was released through Roadside Attractions and Lions Gate Films in 2009.
Also in 2009, he directed the feature film, The Lightkeepers, from a script he wrote that is based on the story The Woman Haters: A Yarn of Eastboro Twin-Lights (1911) by Joseph C. Lincoln.
It was chosen as the closing night film for the Palm Springs International Film Festival, and was the opening night film for the Boulder International Film Festival, won the "Golden Angel" award (best picture) and chosen closing night film at the Los Angeles Chinese-American Film Festival, was named the No. 2 Best Grown Up Love Story of the Year (2010) by AARP Magazine, and won the 2010 "best musical score for a comedy" award by the International Film Music Critics Association.
Two-time Academy Award nominated actor Bruce Dern has compared Adams' directing style to Hal Ashby and Alfred Hitchcock, and commented, "He (Adams) is on the threshold of becoming an extremely interesting commodity in this business because he's really old-school - he's an old-school filmmaker."
And Academy Award-winning actor Richard Dreyfuss has been quoted, "Daniel is a smart man, who truly understands the old values of filmmaking... He is an excellent writer and perhaps enough people will see The Lightkeepers to appreciate that."
Adams directed the film An L.A. Minute which he co-wrote with National Lampoon alum Larry "Ratso" Sloman.
In December 2011 Adams was indicted on 10 counts of making false tax claims related to two movies he directed, The Golden Boys and The Lightkeepers, for which his production company received $4.7 million in tax credits from the state of Massachusetts.
On April 19, 2012, he pleaded guilty, served 21 months in prison, and was sentenced to 10 years probation.
The film was released in theaters in the summer of 2018 through Strand Releasing but made just $5,004 at the box office.
"The Walk" has won numerous "Best Picture" and "Best Director" film festival awards.
The Walk is set to be released in theaters in the United States through Vertical Entertainment on June 10, 2022
In February 2019, the SEC claimed Adams and his business partner, Michael Flanders, had defrauded investors in connection with the film An L.A. Minute.
According to the SEC a fictitious wire transfer confirmation and signature page, forged by Adams, was sent by Flanders to an investor to create the false appearance that investments had already been made in the film.
The final judgment, against Adams, was issued in December 2019, ordering him to pay $50,562 plus prejudgment interest of $7,087 and a $50,562 civil penalty.
In May 2020 Flanders was ordered to pay $28,500 plus prejudgment interest of $4,354 and a $28,500 civil penalty.
Their production companies, Spiderworx Media LLC and An L.A. Minute LLC, were also penalized.
Adams gave a lengthy interview in which he described his regret regarding his legal issues, as well as the extenuating circumstances and why both issues are related, on the Brent Weinbach podcast "Pointed Questions."
Adams gained film production experience from directing television commercials for a Boston advertising agency.
