Adam Mason was born in Cambridge in 1975. He graduated from the London Film School, and immediately began his film career. He directed and produced more than 90 music videos over the next seven years, as well as several award winning short films. In 2004 he started production on Broken, a feature film made for less than 5000 pounds, that ultimately went on to find distribution through The Weinstein Company and won many award s worldwide. That film got him spotted in Hollywood, and a few months later he was directing The Devil's Chair, financed by Crystal Sky, which was officially selected for the Toronto Film Festival, won many festival award s and was distributed to great international acclaim through Sony. In the process of finishing that film he signed to CAA and moved to LA. He followed up the great success of The Devil's Chair with Blood River, a psychological thriller he shot in an authentic abandoned ghost town in the middle of death valley. In 2008 he directed a twenty part Dodge commercial for TNT. He is currently (2009) deep in post production on his next film, Luster, a subversive black-comedy take on the classic Jekyll & Hyde story. He is also developing a slate of feature and television scripts, and continues to work in music videos and commercials.

Stuck for ideas for his first music video, Antihero's "Stravinsky Gave Me Nightmares", a last minute pastiche of the Evil Dead series of films was cobbled together. A low budget and limited time gave it a feel of the original Evil Dead, and when a DVD box-set was being made the video was included as an extra.
