Adam Carter Rehmeier is an American film director, writer and cinematographer best known for his coming of age films Dinner in America and Snack Shack.

Early life

Rehmeier grew up in Nebraska City, Nebraska, the son of District Judge Randall Rehmeier. As a teenager in the early 90's he worked the snack shack, at Steinhart Park Pool in the Missouri River community, an experience he would later write into his film Snack Shack.

He attended Columbia College in Chicago where he studied films with a cinematography concentration. He began working a documentary camera operator, shooting low-budget feature films and documenting the touring jam band Phish.

Career

In 2008, Adam Rehmeier and actress Rodleen Getsic co-directed the torture porn film The Bunny Game. The film follows a sex worker (played by Getsic) who is adbucted by a sadistic truck driver who spends the film committing sexual violence against her. The film was shot in black and white for a budget of $13,000 over the span of 13 days. In addiction to directing, Rehmeier acted as both cinematographer and editor. The film was released in 2010 and was subsequently banned in the United Kingdom after the British Board of Film Classification refused to classify it due to its graphic scenes of sexual and physical abuse. Despite its controversy, the film showed at over 40 film festivals internationally and was distributed in 7 territories.

Rehmeier followed up The Bunny Game with Jonas a film that has been cited as being a companion piece. A parable in six verses, the film follows Jonas, a man who washes up on the California coast line and travels around LA, going door-to door to spread his message.

Dinner in America was Rehmeier third film and after its release attained cult status, partially thanks to John Waters listing it as one of his favorite films of 2022 in artforum, after it's world premiere at the Sundance Film Festival. The story follows a quirky relationship between a neurodivergent girl Emily Skeegs and an anarchist punk Kyle Gallner. Due to the films release falling during the Covid 19 pandemic it struggled to find an audience initially, however it became popular on tik Tok in 2024 and was able to drum up interest for a delayed theatrical run.

Rehmeier embarked on making his most personal film in 2022, with the semi-autobiographical Snack Shack, which is loosely based on his own childhood experience in Nebraska City. MRC, Paperclip Limited, and T-Street produced the film. The film had a limited theatrical release in the in March of 2024, by Republic Pictures. It received generally positive reviews from critics.
