Award-winning writer/director Liz Adams comes from an entrepreneurial background where for over twelve years she ran her own business providing sales and marketing services to the computing resources and nanotechnology industries. Adams negotiated the sale of her business to follow her passion into the world of filmmaking. She completed film school in 2006 and went on to participate in AFI's DWW program in 2007.

Adams is currently in post-production on her second feature film as a writer -director, Supercyclone (Nick Turturro, Ming-Na) which will be released world-wide through Asylum Home Entertainment in September 2012. Her first feature, Air Collision (Reggie Veljohnson, Jordan Ladd) was released in March 2012.

Adams has also directed seven short films and a music video. In addition to writing all of her short films, she has written a five-episode web series, an original television pilot, and five feature length screenplays.

In 2007, Adams' controversial script for Side Effect was selected to represent American Film Institute in their prestigious Directing Workshop for Women, and is the first horror film to come out of the thirty-four year program.

From 2008-2010 Side Effect played at forty festivals worldwide and won nine awards including Best Short Film, Best Director, Audience Choice, and Best screenplay.
