Adria Budd-Johnson is a Canadian film producer and alumnus of the prestigious Canadian Film Centre.

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".

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. At least one magazine interpreted the People interview as a sign the pair had been inspired by the book to follow Grey's example.

In 2015 Budd was awarded the Women in Film and Television Toronto Banff World Media Festival Scholarship.

In 2016 Budd was invited to be a participant in Bell Media's Executive Producer Accelerator Lab.
