The world of themed entertainment has expanded beyond resorts and parks. Museums, zoos, aquariums, and other destinations present well-crafted exhibits to convey their message. One reason for their success is the work of skilled professionals behind the scenes. These artists work on projects for Disney and Universal as well as smaller attractions. A perfect example is Adam Bezark, who has built a unique career on cool projects as the President and Creative Director of the Bezark Company.
Adam is my guest on this episode of the Tomorrow Society Podcast to talk about his background and career. On this podcast, we discuss challenges getting started during a different era. Adam joined Landmark Entertainment Group as a Senior Show Designer and supported attractions for Universal Studios. These projects included Jurassic Park: The Ride, Terminator 2: 3D, and the Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man. During this interview, he describes his experiences on those Universal attractions.
Later on, Adam was a Show Writer for the Pirates of the Caribbean: Battle for the Sunken Treasure at Shanghai Disneyland. This new take on the Disney classic uses innovative technology in clever ways. Adam describes his role and the creative process for this breakout hit. In addition, he worked with Don Dorsey on early nighttime spectaculars for EPCOT at Walt Disney World including the original Illuminations. We also chat about attractions like the Space Shuttle Atlantis at Kennedy Space Center and Independence Hall in Philadelphia that connect to real history. I really enjoyed talking with Adam and learning more about his career.

I didn’t know you lived in STL.
So do I.
Great interview with Adam.
That’s awesome, David. I grew up here and have lived here pretty much straight beyond my time in college. I’m glad you enjoyed the interview with Adam. He was a great guest and has worked on so many interesting projects. Thanks for the comment!
