Adria Budd-Johnson is a Canadian film producer and alumnus of the prestigious Canadian Film Centre.[1]
The Hollywood Reporter reported that Budd-Johnson and her husband Eric Johnson had partnered with a Chinese producer to write romantic comedy entitled "The Shanghai Hotel".[2]
In an interview with People magazine, her husband Eric described how he was able to prepare for playing a villain in Fifty Shades Darker and Fifty Shades Freed, by discussing the books with his wife, who had already read them.[3] At least one magazine interpreted the People interview as a sign the pair had been inspired by the book to follow Grey's example.[4]
In 2015 Budd was awarded the Women in Film and Television Toronto Banff World Media Festival Scholarship.[1]
In 2016 Budd was invited to be a participant in Bell Media's Executive Producer Accelerator Lab.[5]
