Adam Bartholomew
Co-Director / Co-Producer of Panazz: The Story
Bio (short):
Adam is a 22-year-old Trinidadian in the Harvard College/Berklee College of Music Joint Studies program studying Chemical and Physical Biology and Film Scoring. At age 7, his grandmother, Marina Bartholomew, started teaching him piano and he soon began playing Steelpan and cello. His passions for science and music deepened during his time at Fatima College where he learned to arrange for their Steelpan ensemble and sang in their choir. In 2023, he chose to create a documentary about Panazz for a Harvard music class, marking the beginning of this film’s creation. Having grown up listening to their music and hearing stories about them from his uncle, Barry Bartholomew, and having grown up watching his father, Brian Bartholomew, edit videos as a hobby, Adam was well poised to create Panazz: The Story.
