GADAM (b.1975) is an artist and filmmaker known for Bloodlust, Live Ashes, M4M : Measure for Measure and Shade and Shadow.[1]
Biography[edit]
Gabriel Manwaring , known professionally as GADAM, had completed a trilogy of homemade features by age 18 which found their first audience with the rise of interest in [cable access] programming in the early 1990s. Many of his future titles are most often categorized as mumblecore. Live Ashes (2023) , a side project completed over 30 years , was made primarily with consumer-grade equipment and was cited by the director as his final live action title (choosing to make animation his main focus).
Career[edit]
While most of his film and video work saw only very limited release, his output as a visual artist allowed him to create inside a bubble for several years. Upon occasion, most often during prolonged months of editing, he would take on outside work. Over the years, he had brief stints in retail, advertising, market research and worked as a medical assistant on site at a clinic curing the COVID-19 pandemic.[2]
Biography[edit]
[GADAM] was born July 11,1975 in Greencastle, IN. He moved to the west coast at 18, and has lived there since 1994 (San Francisco, Los Angeles, Portland). An early short fared well in the student Hugo Awards, the panel of judges including Francis Ford Coppola and Kathleen Kennedy [3] His first work on a studio production was for Roger Corman 's New Concorde Productions- which he worked on for 3 days while attending film school (he then quit both the film and film school to work on his own project). After 30 years and multiple live action features, he adopted the screen name GADAM and said he now intends to focus on animation, writing and music.
Career[edit]
He writes, produces, shoots, directs and edits almost all of his works entirely on his own with very few exceptions. He returned to the midwest to help with a sick family member, and suffered head trauma when his vehicle slid off the side of a small bridge on an icy back road. Family members took advantage of this situation, and he was homeless with $30 to his name when he returned to the west coast. He was homeless and living out of his studio when making Bloodlust. which would be his most recognized title to date at the time. [4] He enjoyed creating low-budget films in a bubble for a few years before streaming decimated royalty income and he made a brief return to making visual art his primary focus. Thirty years after his first indie feature, he released Live Ashes- a side project he had completed over several years, citing it as his final live action movie.
Works[edit]
- Shade and Shadow (2004) - His fifth feature , a horror/comedy, and his first to get any degree of mainstream attention, though promotion was derailed very early on following an automobile accident which created issues for the director for several years.
- Bloodlust (2010) - His seventh feature, a sendup of 1970s pulp thrillers shot on consumer gear. A special edition of the movie two years later was cited as he first 3D (non adult) feature.
- Danger Falls (2012) - An improvised western shot in three days which became his most commercially successful title 3 years after first released.
- M4M: Measure for Measure (2015) - An experimental all-male version of the Shakespeare play, of which there are five variations. The second version, cited by Oxford University textbooks as "M2M", is one of the first and only adaptations of the work on film.
- Live Ashes (2023) A sprawling experimental piece shot over 30 years which incorporates material deleted from his previous films, newly filmed material and uses [deepfake] technology to allow actors to perform in the same scenes while having shot their roles years or even decades apart.
