Adam Morse, a London-based British actor, writer, producer, and director, achieved the remarkable distinction of becoming the world's first blind filmmaker to win awards. Diagnosed with a rare mitochondrial disease called LHON at the age of nineteen in 2009, Adam Morse's journey has been one of defying all odds. He has emerged as a pioneering figure in the entertainment industry, particularly for differently-abled filmmakers. This recognition followed the critical acclaim of his debut feature film 'Lucid,' starring Billy Zane, which premiered on Amazon in 2020.

In addition to his directorial success, Adam made waves as a "Blind Action Star" by taking on recurring roles in the Apple TV+ series 'SEE,' alongside Jason Momoa. Remarkably, he performed his own stunts on screen, showcasing his extraordinary talent and determination.

Currently, Adam is actively engaged in directing various feature films and developing numerous film and TV projects through his production companies, Hollyfield Productions and Morvara Entertainment. Notably, he is also penning a self-help book that chronicles his journey of overcoming blindness and serves as an inspiring guide for readers seeking to embrace a positive mental philosophy for achieving success.
