Words by Johvan Merilus

In the vibrant tapestry of Jacksonville’s creative community, few figures stand out quite like Adam Madrid. As director and editor for Argyle Forest Films, co-creator of the LOL JAX Film Festival, and city producer for the Jacksonville 48 Hour Film Project (not to mention Film Production Coordinator for the City of Jacksonville Film and Television Office, Adam’s dedication to storytelling and collaboration is undeniable. Beyond his impressive filmography, his commitment to uplifting local talent and fostering creative opportunities has made him a cornerstone of Jacksonville’s arts scene. 

I recently had the privilege of sitting down with Madrid for an engaging conversation about his journey, his role in amplifying Jacksonville’s creative voice and his upcoming feature film, “Let Me Be Corey.” Over the course of our interview, Madrid shared his insights on filmmaking, his vision for Jacksonville as a cultural hub, and the importance of giving back to the community that has supported him throughout his career.
