About Me
Creating Meaning at Every Turn
My Story
I’m Adán Gama Puffelis, a filmmaker, producer, and creative systems builder driven by curiosity, resilience, and the desire to create meaningful work. I’ve always wanted people to walk away not only knowing what I’ve done, but feeling interested in where I’m going next. My path has moved through film production, education, technology, and real-life challenges that shaped how I see the world and how I work with others. I earned both my Bachelor’s and Master of Fine Arts in Cinema from San Francisco State University, where I deepened my craft in storytelling while also embracing teaching, mentorship, and the power of film as a tool for learning. Some of my most meaningful experiences came through documentary work abroad in Italy and China, where story, culture, and personal perspective came together in powerful ways. I believe in building strong communities, creating work with purpose, and leaving behind something lasting whether through film, public art, or opportunities that help others grow. I’m still evolving, still creating, and still pushing toward what’s next.
