Adam
Bardach was born and raised
in London, England. His father, Gene Gutowski, was the producer
of early Roman Polanski classics Repulsion, Cul-De-Sac
and Fearless Vampire Killers among others.
Adam
moved to LA in the early nineties and began his own film
career in agency mailrooms, followed by a two year stint
assisting producer Joel Silver. He soon struck out on his
own and began producing commercials and music videos before
discovering a passion for documentaries.
Over
the past decade, Adam has produced over ten award-winning
documentary films including Hate.Com: Extremists On
the Internet and A Season of Fury for HBO’s
‘America Undercover’ series. He also produced
The Monster That Ate Hollywood for Frontline/PBS.
Taking advantage of faster, cheaper, DV technologies as
they became available, Adam went on to produce three indie,
festival favorites Karaoke Fever, Welcome Sinners!
and People of Earth. He found himself taking on
more and more of the creative responsibilities on these
films, gradually learning to shoot, edit and ultimately
direct.
Living
With Lew is Adam Bardach’s first documentary
as director. He also acted as both producer and cinematographer
of the film.

Claire
Didier
left her hometown of Rochester, Minnesota at
17 to work at an orphanage in Bologna, Italy, and later a
refugee center in Rome. Returning to the U.S. she earned a
BA at the U of Michigan in a major of her own making, “History
as Spectacle.” The subject has remained a motivating
interest in her professional choices, compelling her to move
to Los Angeles in the late 1990’s to edit documentary
film.
She has edited a number
of feature documentaries, including Welcome Sinners!,
People of Earth, and The Restoration of Cassavetes’”
Shadows,” which she also shot and directed
for Criterion. Having cut programs for HBO, VH1, FOX, TLC,
Animal Planet, and Travel Channel, etc, she has spent the
last few years at PBS editing the award –winning program
California Connected, in tandem with Living
with Lew.
Claire can also be seen
performing as the Blazing Queen of the Rhumba, in and around
Los Angeles.
