Adam exploded onto the scene fresh out of

Independent Spirit Award for best feature film.
Following the success of his first film, Adam wrote and directed the "pre-scripted actor film" -
WEAPONS and the documentary "THE UPSETTERS: the life and music of
Lee Scratch Perry." Both films premiered at the
Sundance film festival, and
Weapons earned a him a
Grand Jury Prize nomination.
Next Adam helmed the controversial documentary on Lil' Wayne, THE CARTER. The film was critically acclaimed and premiered at the
2009 Sundance Film Festival where indieWire dubbed it the "best film of the festival", but raised controversy when Lil' Wayne attempted to block the release of the film due to its depiction of his marijuana and cough syrup use.
Since then, Adam's kept busy working on several exciting films including "Panrea," a drama starring
Mark Webber and
Chloë Sevigny, penned by
Adam Mansbach and executive produced by
Jim Jarmusch. Lough is also working with producers

Sisters. And, In early
2013 WWE Studios announced plans to develop "
Cruisin for a Brusin" an action comedy to be written and directed by Lough.
