After graduating from Harvard, Adam moved to California where as an actor he appeared in both plays and television.
In 2001, he moved to New York to pursue his goal of becoming a filmmaker. While studying screenwriting and film at NYU, Adam appeared in My Blind Brother, a finalist at the 2003 Cannes Film Festival, and the HBO hit series Sex and the City. He also worked as an actor and technical consultant on Stay starring Naomi Watts and Ewan McGregor. On the set, Adam worked with director Marc Forster to help develop a blind character played by Bob Hoskins.
In 2005 Linn co-founded Good Look Productions and wrote and directed the award winning short film Smell the Light.
In 2008 Adam met April Mosqus and after reading her feature script Heartbreaker agreed to co-write and direct the grunge rock inspired short Before We Get To Seattle. Adam is a musician as well as a filmmaker and the story of a young kid’s desire to take off and start a band was one he found irresistable.
