Adam Finberg grew up in Phoenix, Arizona and moved to Southern California to attend the American Film Institute’s directing program. He’s worked the past 20 years as a writer, director and editor. Star People is his first feature length narrative film.

​

Adam began his career directing music videos (Armin van Buuren, Malbec, Otis) before moving on to commercial work (Napoleon Perdis, Go Daddy). His first documentary, After Katrina: Rebuilding St. Bernard Parish, shined a light on the perils and pains of post-Hurricane Katrina New Orleans. 

​

His first feature documentary, The Business of Recovery, dove into the secret lucrative world of the American addiction treatment industry. The film was featured on Last Week Tonight With John Oliver as it sparked conversations about the rehab industry and was even showcased at the International Drug Policy Reform Conference in Washington, DC to help guide policy decisions.

 

Through the years, Adam has been a lead editor on numerous unscripted television shows on a variety of networks including Discovery, WETV, The History Channel, Lifetime, MSNBC, History, TruTV, Oxygen, ABC, CMT, Showtime, VH1 and MTV.
