A unique cross-cultural upbringing sparked Adrian's curiosity about the way people view each other and the world around them.   Listening late into the night to captivating stories from remarkable people both in the States and overseas drew him into the art of storytelling.

Born in America of Czechoslovakian and Yugoslavian parents, Adrian grew up in Chicago, but spent many summers behind the “Iron Curtain” in Eastern Europe with family and friends.   He began making films in elementary school with his childhood friend Christopher Nolan (writer / director Memento, (2001), Insomnia (2002)) and his brother Roko Belic.

Adrian graduated from University of Southern California in 1993 with a BS degree in Political Science and a minor in International Relations.

Adrian and his brother, Roko, formed Wadi Rum Productions in 1995 and embarked on their first production, GENGHIS BLUES, winner of the 1999 Sundance Audience Award, as well as many domestic and international film festival awards, and a 2000 Academy Award Nomination for Best Feature Documentary.

More recently, Adrian was involved in filming The Happy Movie and Not Impossible Now: Project Daniel.

Adrian is a member of the Film Arts Foundation, Francisco Film Society, and the International Documentary Association. He continues to speak and write about filmmaking and following ones passion, as well as teaching and serving on juries at film festivals.
