His work includes What Carter Lost, Destination: Team USA, Son of the Congo, Judging Jewell, and Pro Day.[5] He is currently developing his first narrative feature film. CareerEarly careerHootnick's creative career began with news production positions at NBC and MSNBC in the US and Israel, including work with NBC legal correspondent Dan Abrams and NBC Tel Aviv correspondent Martin Fletcher. He worked as a producer at MTV News & Documentaries[6][7] covering politics and international affairs worldwide, including news and documentary segments and specials tied to the Iraq War, Supreme Court decisions on gay rights and affirmative action, and the 2004 and 2008 US Presidential elections. DocumentariesHootnick's first feature, the critically acclaimed UNSETTLED,[8] tells the story of several young Israelis from across the religious and political spectrum during the 2005 withdrawal of Israeli settlements and troops from Gaza.[9] UNSETTLED won numerous awards,[10][11][12] including the Grand Jury Prize for Best Documentary Feature at the Slamdance Film Festival. Produced in conjunction with Grantland and Executive Producer Bill Simmons, Hootnick's "Son of the Congo" premiered at the 2015 South by Southwest Film Festival.[13] The film follows Serge Ibaka, who currently plays for Toronto Raptors, and his improbable journey from the violence of the Republic of the Congo to NBA stardom and back again, as Ibaka returns home hoping his basketball success can help rebuild a country and inspire a new generation to dream of a better life. Hootnick also collaborated with ESPN to direct the short films "Pro Day"[14] and "The Outstanding Mind-Bending Basketball Synergy Machine".[15] His project for United Airlines, Destination: Team USA, follows five Olympic hopefuls as they compete for spots on the 2016 Olympic team.[16] He directed What Carter Lost, which tells the story of the Dallas Carter Cowboys, one of the most talented teams in high school football history, and their dominating 1988 season in Texas, as famously portrayed in the film Friday Night Lights. The documentary is a part of the ESPN 30 for 30 series and is set for release in August 2017.[5] This will be Hootnick's second film for ESPN's Emmy Award-winning 30 for 30 series after "Judging Jewell", previously rated among the top films in the history of the series by Rolling Stone Magazine.[17] He founded and continues to run Resonance Story Company, a production company specializing in branded documentaries for clients for clients in various sectors including health care, financial services, and consumer products.[18] Commercial directingAs a commercial director, Hootnick's recent work includes NASCAR's tribute to Jeff Gordon, "One Last Time Around", as well as projects for United Airlines, Facebook, Tylenol, and the Clinton Foundation.[19] Music videosHootnick's first music video was the Webby Awards-honoree "Shoeshine" with Brooklyn rock band Black Taxi.[5] Personal lifeHootnick graduated from Harvard College and Harvard Law School,[20] and is currently based in Austin, Texas.[21] References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://jerseyshorefilmfestival.com/director-details.php?did%3D47 |title=Archived copy |accessdate=2013-08-27 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20150123024307/http://jerseyshorefilmfestival.com/director-details.php?did=47 |archivedate=2015-01-23 |df= }} 2. ^http://blog.peaceworks.net/2008/05/unsettled-an-excellent-documentary-screening-this-week/ 3. ^http://forward.com/articles/10223/a-documentary-wrings-poetry-from-politics/ 4. ^http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/la-et-unsettled16-2008may16,0,1076340.story 5. ^1 2 http://www.espn.com/30for30/film?page=WhatCarterLost 6. ^http://www.gstv.com/newsitems/team-universal-mccann-wins-gas-station-tvs-inaugural-beer-pong-invitational-tournament-2/ 7. ^http://www.mtv.com/news/1552095/slamdance-diary-whats-it-like-to-have-your-film-nominated-for-an-award/ 8. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.7x7.com/arts/special-screening-filmmaker-adam-hootnicks-award-winning-documentary-unsettled|title=Archived copy|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20131130143618/http://www.7x7.com/arts/special-screening-filmmaker-adam-hootnicks-award-winning-documentary-unsettled|archivedate=2013-11-30|deadurl=yes|accessdate=2013-08-27|df=}} 9. ^http://www.csuchico.edu/news/archived-news/2011-spring/04-08-11-directory-of-documentary-on-isreal-to-screen-film.shtml 10. ^{{Cite web |url=http://www.greenroomorlando.com/ArchArticle.aspx?ID=789 |title=Archived copy |access-date=2015-11-16 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151117032510/http://www.greenroomorlando.com/ArchArticle.aspx?ID=789 |archive-date=2015-11-17 |dead-url=yes |df= }} 11. ^http://www.thevillagenews.com/story/25315/ 12. ^{{Cite web |url=http://www.sonomafilmfest.org/2008-awards.html |title=Archived copy |access-date=2015-11-16 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150123212444/http://www.sonomafilmfest.org/2008-awards.html |archive-date=2015-01-23 |dead-url=yes |df= }} 13. ^http://schedule.sxsw.com/2015/events/event_FS17778 14. ^{{Citation|title=Pro Day: L'Damian Washington (Video 2014)|url=https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4381818/?ref_=nv_sr_1|accessdate=2017-08-11}} 15. ^{{Cite news|url=http://grantland.com/the-triangle/grantland-at-the-sloan-sports-analytics-conference-the-outstanding-mind-bending-basketball-synergy-machine/|title=Grantland at the Sloan Sports Analytics Conference: The Outstanding, Mind-Bending Basketball Synergy Machine|last=Channel|first=Grantland|date=2013-03-04|work=Grantland|access-date=2017-08-21|language=en-US}} 16. ^http://adamhootnick.com/dtusa/ 17. ^https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/lists/the-30-best-30-for-30-films-20141125/judging-jewell-dir-adam-hootnick-20141125 18. ^http://www.huffingtonpost.com/mia-r-benenate/synonymous-with-entertain_b_935330.html 19. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.espn.com/30for30/film?page=WhatCarterLost|title=What Carter Lost - ESPN Films: 30 for 30|website=www.espn.com|language=en|access-date=2017-08-21}} 20. ^http://www.nysun.com/new-york/film-casts-unique-gaze-on-gaza/56926/ 21. ^http://adamhootnick.com/bio/ External links
