Hadrian discovered his passion of becoming a filmmaker/content creator in a library ten years ago, when he discovered the life story of Steven Spielberg, and has been pursuing that passion ever since.

Born and raised in Indonesia, Hadrian spurred the push he felt from those around him to become a doctor, lawyer, or accountant. He felt drawn, instead, by the freedom filmmaking allows to explore and express new things and ideas, only limited by his creativity. Knowing his passion since a relatively young age gave Hadrian a head start to begin learning and gaining new experiences through different projects and places. Hadrian is currently attending Citrus College and plans to transfer soon to pursue his B.A. in Filmmaking.
