Instructor

Adrian A. Cruz is a showrunner, writer, director, and producer working in television, film, and theater. He’s a published comic book creator and novelist. Having graduated USC with dual degrees in Film and Theater, Adrian has created and sold pilots to nearly every major studio and network, but is perhaps best known for co-creating the stylish science-fiction mini-series, ASCENSION, for the Syfy Network, Universal Television and Blumhouse — as well as for directing the divisive, critically acclaimed, indie film, EAT ME. He maintains an active presence in the LA Theater scene as playwright, director, and producer. Adrian is a proud WGAw member and graduate of their esteemed SHOWRUNNER TRAINING PROGRAM. He created Hardfun: Writing — to offer to others the lessons it took him nearly 25 years to learn, not only about the art and craft of wiring in all it’s forms, but about being a fully expressed person and artist.
