Get ready for the season 4 finale of the Future of Film podcast as we dive into the world of cinematic storytelling with the brilliant Hadley Hillel. An alumnus from as far back as 2014, Hadley's captivating dark comedies, "Muffins" and "The Talk," have been a consistent highlight in our Roadshow Presentations across the country. These films are more than just movies; they're journeys into curious, offbeat, and uproariously funny worlds, where flawed characters come to life amidst unexpected laughter.
Join us as we sit down with Hadley Hillel, a visionary storyteller who has held my attention for a decade with his imaginative narratives. From an awkward hitman serving muffins at a bed and breakfast to a selfish couple contemplating divorce through absurd arguments, Hadley's films take us on extraordinary journeys, often with lines like "nobody trims a cactus with lawn clippers." He masterfully weaves surreal characters and conflicts into stories that defy convention, blending stylized presentation with profound humanity.
Explore Hadley's journey as he navigates fantastical realms, challenging the boundaries of what filmmaking can achieve. His films, from a sad tea cozy factory worker befriending a boy through notes in the floor to a son suspecting his mother is a robot in a futuristic 1950s setting, showcase his unparalleled creativity. With an impressive list of awards and accolades too lengthy to enumerate, Hadley's talent speaks for itself, proving that he's a creative force with limitless potential.

Hudson’s gifts as storyteller humbled us. His three films, “Fork, Knife and Chainsaw” (a half horror/half dark comedy), “Death By Handshake” (an introspective pandemic comedy epitomizing and embracing his NYC roots) and “Friday” (a hyper-relevant, teen tour-de-force rich in depth of character, conflict, an immersive range of emotion, attention to delivery, and the elusive x-factor… the ability to marry message and merit and the artistic bridge that helps us all travel to a place of profound growth)... appeared out of nowhere - he had never submitted before.
Discovering Hudson suddenly through this initial body of work prompted an overwhelming revelation of limitless potential.From the moment we first reviewed “Friday” we could not shake the story - the hyper-relevant topic delivered from a fresh and potent perspective, the nimble adaptation of the non-linear structure, the nuanced realism and depth of the script, the scope of distinct perspectives, the manipulative mastery of foreshadowing, the waves of dynamic emotions, the gravity of the tone, and of course, the undeniable impact of the message.
