Adam Patla grew up three minutes away from a movie theater so loving film with a passion best categorized as “intense” was unavoidable. He studied Broadcast & Cinematic Arts at Central Michigan University before going on to work as a talent agent in the theatre industry until 2020. In the midst of the pandemic, he began sharing movie reviews and analyses on TikTok (@apat100) and has gone on to amass over 46,000 followers since. Most recently, Adam joined The Rolling Tape as a writing, podcast, and awards team contributor.
