Biography

Michael Hudson studied "Film & Television Production" at Sheffield specializing in cinematography before being invited to attend the "Faculty of Dramatic Art" at Belgrade National Film School in Serbia where he along with his fellow participants were mentored by Director Rian Johnson.

He continued his studies by attending workshops and private meetings with renowned directors such as Alexander Sokorov and Krzysztof Zanussi to name a few.

His formal educational background meant that initially he was unable to specialize in directing when he acquired his first education in the UK so specialized in cinematography but was always working on short films as the director and cinematographer. After continuing his studies outside of the UK he was able to focus more on directing before moving from directing short films to directing feature films.

Michael co-directed his first feature film in Lithuania "Big Speakers (2015)" before on his first solo feature film "Driven" which is to be filmed on location in Pakistan.

Was mentored by Rian Johnson and Krzysztof Zanussi.

Pakistan is currently experiencing a rebirth in cinema as it begins to tell it's stories and find it's voice.

Kamran and I discussed it and he set out some guidelines for me about what the film could be about. I began writing the script which was difficult at the time as I had not been to Pakistan so I tried to make a film with a theme that's commercial and universal.

The belief systems where I am from (UK), where I live now (Russia) and Pakistan are all fundamentally different from each other. In terms of moralities and personal values, what may appear logical to me, may not be to another so each element must be checked for realism.
