HUGHES WILLIAM THOMPSON

Hughes William Thompson is a graduate of NYU's Tisch School of the Arts and developed an early passion for creating strange worlds, conjuring rich characters, and spinning off-beat narratives — all in his distinctive voice. In 2015, Thompson was named among the top 30 young global directors at the SHOOT New Director Showcase at the DGA, and his work has taken prizes at the Cannes Lions - Young Director Awards, at Oscar and BAFTA-qualifying festivals, and has been featured many times on Vimeo Staff Picks and Short of the Week. He completed his first feature film in 2019, THE DIVORCE PARTY, which was released by Gravitas Ventures in theaters to praise by critics from the Los Angeles Times and others. He is currently in development on his next feature, a surreal thriller he co-wrote with HOMECOMING creator Micah Bloomberg.
