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.
