Adam Riegler has been working professionally as an actor since he was seven years old, featuring in films and originating two roles on Broadway. These experiences were tremendous masterclasses on comedy, storytelling, and work ethic. However, Adam realized that acting was not a long term goal and that he would rather be on the other side of the table as a storyteller. He switched his sights to directing for screen and stage — which he studied during his time at Dartmouth College. Adam has directed a number of plays and short films and is hoping to continue to do so. He wants to send a huge thank you to the fantastic cast and crew of The Hike who made filming this short a dream for him, he could not be more proud of the finished product.
