The film was also an Official Selection of the 2024 Queens World Film Festival at the Museum of the Moving Image, where it won awards for Best Narrative Feature and Best Female Actor. It had a limited theatrical release in Los Angeles in February 2025 and is now available for rent on all cable, satellite, and digital platforms, including Prime Video and Apple TV. "STOCKADE" has garnered positive reviews from critics, including those from Film Festival Today, Film Threat, and Film International.

His work includes videography and editing, specializing in campaign videos, public service announcements, press interviews, and event coverage. Adam was the editor for both seasons of GLAAD’s original digital comedy talk show series, "DÍMELO," which highlights the perspectives of LGBTQ+ Latine comedians. Most recently, the series has been selected as a finalist for the 2025 Halo Awards in the category of Best Gender & LGBTQ Equality Initiative.
