Director Bio

Adam Vincent Wright is a writer-director currently residing in Wellsville, Ohio. After receiving a Master’s Degree from Emerson College in Boston and living in Philadelphia and Los Angeles, Wright decided to move “back home” to make films. The move produced Welcome to the Ball, Wright’s most authentic work yet. Since premiering at the Queens World Film Festival (NY) in March where it won Best Short Short, Welcome to the Ball has been accepted to more than 25 festivals (and counting) all over the world. Wright is thrilled to be premiering the film in Los Angeles at Outfest. Wright identifies as sansgender and, as you may have noticed, doesn’t use pronouns.
