Adam James Mawson was born in Bradford, West Yorkshire, UK. He has been married to Lindsey Claire Hill-Mawson since 2008. They have one child.
When Adam was young, he used to make short films with his dad's video camera in the summer holidays and learnt do to his own special effects on his computer. He got more enjoyment out of movies than anything in the world they took him to a different place.
Adam's parents saw his potential from a young age and were always supportive of what he wanted to do. through the years Adam went from making short films to becoming a TV & film extra to learn more about the industry that he was growing to love.
After attending the Bradford film summit, An BAFTA award-winning guest speaker said it was "impossible" to create a short film with no help. "He told us that if you tried doing everything yourself in regards to making a short film, it's impossible and can't be done." That stuck in my head as I had already produced a trailer so I set out to make this happen. After coming up with the teaser trailer I then set out to make the film Abduction.
