ALADDIN is the newest film that Adam is writing/directing. It’s a hyper-sensory, poetic, and humorously modern take on the Arabian Nights Classic tale. The feature film will further explore the recesses of Adam’s symbolic imagination, playing like an Alejandro Jodorowsky version of Aladdin on handmade sets à la “The Science of Sleep”; with frenetic dialogue at the pace of Xavier Renegade Angel or South Park.
Revolving around Aladdin’s dysfunctional family, who live in an “average” American city ruled by a corrupt Sultan with a decadent socialite daughter, the film explores themes of technology, government repression, greed, and true-love.
In the months following the successful Kickstarter campaign, Adam’s focus was on pre-production in a 6000-square foot warehouse in Redhook, Brooklyn, where he and a small crew made 350 papier mache props and 33 hand-made sets!
Shooting has started and the cast includes acclaimed actors Macaulay Culkin, Alia Shawkat (Arrested Development) and Natasha Lyonne (Orange Is The New Black), celebrated NY musicians, Adam Green, Dev Hynes, Devendra Banhart, Har Mar Superstar, Andrew VanWyngarden (MGMT), as well as renowned artist Francesco Clemente.
A soundtrack and tour will accompany the release. Adam is ALADDIN right now!
