After eleven years of moving up the ranks from PA to producer, Adrian decided to come to the United States, where he studied film at UCLA and began working as an assistant on feature films.
He assisted Executive Producers Moctezuma Esparza and Robert Katz at Esparza Katz, who produced the films Selena, Gettysburg, and The Milagro Beanfield War.
