Take 108 - Producer, director, songwriter, writer Adam Anders, Glee, Rock of Ages, Journey to Bethlehem

Screaming into the Hollywood Abyss

The day before his new movie hits 3000 theaters in 38 countries, we talk to the talented Adam Anders.
He tells us about his transition from a very successful music career with shows like Glee to his 17 year journey to writing, producing, directing and songwriting for a Christmas family musical called Journey to Bethlehem.
Adam talks about being creatively unfulfilled, the tightrope to walk when working on a religious movie and his extraordinary pursuit of Antonio Banderas.
He explains how hard it has been to promote a movie without actors due to the strike, the emotional toll of being away from his family for six months and how he felt at the friends and family screening and the importance of putting his parents in the credits.
A case study in perseverance.
