Adam Leipzig is the CEO of Entertainment Media Partners, an American film and theatre producer and executive, as well as an author.

While president of National Geographic Films, he acquired the international rights to March of the Penguins, and created the US version, which won the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature.

Leipzig is noted for contributing to the field of nature documentaries by implementing higher production standards and utilizing voice-over narration.

[23][24] He started his own production company called Terra Bella Entertainment in 1999,[25] where he produced films including Titus and I Was a Teenage Faust.

[6][24] In October, 2008, National Geographic Films announced $100 million in financing with an equity investment from Abu Dhabi Media Company and a credit facility from JP Morgan.

This approach, described by the Los Angeles Times as creating a "hybrid" genre of wildlife filmmaking[7], combined traditional nature documentary elements with features of romantic drama, comedy, and suspense to appeal to a broader audience.

Leipzig is on faculty at the University of California Berkeley Haas School of Business, where he has been a lecturer since 2013, teaching in the MBA and Executive Education programs.

[40] In 2005 Leipzig wrote two articles[41][42] for The New York Times about how the movie business works for theatrical and home video releases.
