Adam Roffman
Adam Roffman is a property master and on-set dresser who works on East Coast feature films and also produces independent features. He began his career in 1996 as an intern on Bill Nye the Science Guy and has since worked with many well-known directors, including Martin Scorsese, Robert Altman, David O. Russell, Paul Feig, the Farrelly brothers, Ben Affleck, and more. He has contributed to films such as The Departed, The Town, Ted, American Hustle, The Equalizer, and Black Mass, among others.
In 2001, Roffman wrote, co-directed, and starred in the one-minute short The Terror of the Invisible Man. Made for under $100, it was shot in about two hours and edited in one hour. It played at 28 film festivals and later aired on IFC and online distribution.
In 2003, he helped launch the Independent Film Festival of Boston and served as its first Program Director through 2013. The festival grew into a premier New England event, attracting tens of thousands of attendees.
Starting in 2007, Roffman expanded into producing. He produced Alex Karpovsky’s Woodpecker and Trust Us, This Is All Made Up, as well as Phillip the Fossil and Plimpton! Starring George Plimpton as Himself.
In 2014 he and Luke Poling directed Spearhunter, a short documentary about Colonel Gene Morris and his Spear Hunting Museum in Summerdale, Alabama, with Nathaniel Hansen as cinematographer and editor.
In 2017 he teamed again with Hansen on The Collection, a short documentary about a large archive of letterpress blocks used to print film ads. The film premiered at South by Southwest, and Tim League of Alamo Drafthouse acquired the collection to design Alamo-affiliated bars in Boston, Manhattan, and Austin.
