A blog about me, Adam Thomas Wright, and my experiences as a young actor.
It has been a bit strange recently. First of all it went really quiet on the audition front. As I am just about to become 15 years old, some people in the know say it is quite usual for it to go quiet until I get out of licensing age at 16. The theory being that you can get 16 year olds that look 14 and 15 and you don’t have to get a licence for them. I decided to concentrate on my writing and I am putting a script together for a serious short film. Then suddenly, there was...

The Shaman has two new screenings coming up in America. Good luck guys. http://www.marcokalantari.com/shaman
The Summer holidays are nearly over but I crammed a lot in and it has gone very quickly. I recorded a part in another radio play for the BBC called Black Dog and I performed a small role in the American T.V. series, The Royals, just recently. It was great fun and the set was stunning. I also submitted one of my own short films to an American film festival. I did everything in it. I acted both parts and scripted, filmed and edited it. I was hoping for a recognition in the production. However, I was delighted to get...
The Global International Film Awards run competitions for new film makers and they have a section for under 18 years old to send in their entries I sent in a short film I made myself . There are many categories and I was delighted to get a nomination in the under 18, Best Actor section. I have had a nomination before for my interview/documentary style film where I interviewed Matthew Modine about smoking. I am going to send another film in soon and maybe third time lucky, I will get an award, fingers crossed.
Derek vs Derek is a short film by Sebastian Barner-Rasmussen. I was introduced to Sebastian by Edward Hemming. I did a short film with him when I was younger.

Have a look at the trailer here:- http://www.barnerrasmussen.com/ It has been selected at various film festivals including:- Thurrock International Film Festival, UK Portugal Baja , California Greece
I went to BBC Broadcasting House yesterday to record a new drama. I met up with a few people I had worked with before which was nice and I met academy award winning actress Juliet Aubrey. She has just finished a film alongside Bryan Cranston. I have just finished watching ‘Breaking Bad’ and I was interested to know what he was like, she said ‘he was really nice’. Juliet played my adoptive mum in the drama and we had a good laugh.
If you missed ‘The Outcast last night’, you can catch up on BBCiplayer:- http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b062vqcx/the-outcast-episode-1 I play Ed Rawlings as a child. He is not a very nice child and a bit of a bully. Finn Elliot played Lewis and he was brilliant. I made a short film whilst we were taking our breaks and this is Finn and me discussing the plot line, with Aran to the right. I will release it later. We had a great time and we all got on really well. In the next picture, from left to right is:- Sophie, Aran, me with...
*MINOR PLOT SPOILERS* Dinosaurs. That’s what you expect when watching a film in the Jurassic Park series, and Jurassic World certainly doesn’t pull any punches on that front. Given that the blockbuster is set in a ‘Prehistoric-style Disneyland’, the film starts all sweetness and light, with the generic Starbucks and doughnut stalls; we are soon introduced to the scary risks of the park. The acting is believable, with Chris Pratt giving a dramatic, funny and sincere performance, like in Guardians of the Galaxy. There is a comedic theme that runs through the whole film, providing many laughs, and also jump scares...
