Lilly Adams grew up in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, a city surrounded by art, and a vivacious opportunity to create it. Growing up, there was no escaping cinema. Every summer the streets of downtown would be blocked as a new production filmed, in every coffee shop a casting call, and at home at night, a movie was on at the end of every day.
She originally began college at the Pennsylvania State University as a Media Studies major, desperate to figure out what it was that drew her to film; how could moving art hold so much baggage in between its lines? Why did everyone she knew want to become a filmmaker?
She wound up on set one day as a production assistant and figured it out; it’s the immense gratification that washes over someone when they get the perfect shot, when the actor delivers the line just right, and the realization that your film can send a message all in one shot. This inspiration never left her, she quickly switched to a Film/Video major that same semester, and the rest is history.
