The documentary is free to watch on YouTube. Adam Hunnicutt loves movies and has been studying film history his entire life. Adam began his journey creating plays and shooting short films on VHS with his siblings and neighborhood kids in Alabama during the 80s and 90s, inspired by movies like The Never Ending Story and The Princess Bride. Then, at 12, Adam told his parents he would work in the film industry for the rest of his life. Nowadays, at Seed Creative, he also produced and edited the 2x Emmy nominated 2023 documentary Building Birmingham: The Sloss Story, which aired on APT in January 2023. Also at Seed Creative, Adam produced, wrote, and edited the multi-Addy award-winning 311 public service commercial campaign for the State of Alabama, which won a Gold Addy and the Judges Choice Award at the 2023 AAF Tuscaloosa. He has worked on hundreds of projects in multiple departments, from feature films and short films to documentaries and commercials. He has had roles in pretty much every department, including Editing, Producing, Writing, Data Wrangling, Assistant Camera, Second Assistant Camera, Camera Operator, Electrical, Grip, Gaff, Boom Operator, Sound Design, Sound Mixer (incl. 5.1 Dolby Surround Sound Design and Mixing), Production Coordinator and more. The leader of the Seed Creative team, George Edmondson, has been a featured speaker at the Apple Final Cut Pro Summit. They have clients worldwide, from Canada, Australia, China, Poland, and more. They created a music video Produced by Kid Rock and another excellent video featuring Luke Bryan telling a young special needs fan he was receiving a college scholarship and concert VIP passes. Adam assisted his friend Jonathan K. Dick (Rolling Stone, Vice, NPR, Salon, SPIN, The A.V. Club) in creating the (former, retired in 2016) number one Metal music page on Facebook. Adam photographed the band Tool for Vice in Atlanta, Ga, in January 2016, during their cover of Led Zepplin's No Quarter thanks to Jonathan Dick. He was also a top reviewer on Amazon, receiving movies to review from Disney and several other movie studios. A few of his reviews, such as for the movie A.I., remained in Amazon's #1 highlight spot for years. In 2004, at the SCAD Film Festival in Savannah, Georgia, Adam was honored to sit next to Roger Ebert during a live Q&A screening of Citizen Kane. Adam left film criticism and his full-time job at a Laboratory to work in the film industry full-time in 2011. He recently celebrated his 6th anniversary at Seed Creative and his 21st Anniversary with his wife, Abbye. They are both devout Christians. They live in Nashville, Tennessee, where Adam works remotely. Additional history: In the early 1900s, Adam's great-grandfather George was a film projectionist at an Illinois silent movie house, where he and his great-grandmother Lydia would often watch movies from the booth and "smooch on date night." During WWII, their son David (Adam's grandfather) was an artist, Electrical Engineer, and the tail gunner of a B-17 Flying Fortress. He would write home regularly during the war to his wife Betty and their newborn Dean Martin and report about the new movies playing that week for the soldiers. An Andy Griffith-style sheriff's car that David painted remained in the Carlinville, Illinois town square for decades. He also built a metal scale model replica of his WWII bomber from scratch. Adam's dad, Paul, is a retired fire chief who proudly hired the first African American Firefighter in the district. His mother, Mary, was Alabama's first female firefighter/paramedic. Adam was an Emergency Medical Dispatcher for two years (2001-2003). Adam considers working at Seed Creative the most incredible gig he has ever had, and he is working on many upcoming projects.
