Adam, a new film from Mike Young, features actors Aaron Paul and Jeff Daniels, and it all takes place right here in Detroit. Young wrote the screenplay based off of Niskar’s journal entries. Young says he was drawn to the story by the notes of comedy that could be found in Niskar’s writing, even in the midst of tragedy. Young has worked in stand-up comedy for 20 years. Young hopes that the film can help bring the film incentive back to Detroit, which he says is an incredibly versatile filming location.
