Graduating from the National Film and Television School in 2022, Hugh's short film "It Feels Personal" was an Official Selection at Tribeca Film Festival, and was acquired by The New Yorker.
Post film school, he was one of five directors selected for the Netflix U.S short film fund, "It's Funny Because It's True", where he co-directed a film about a couple trying to find intimacy in a long distance relationship. Afterwards, he made his first audio comedy with BBC Radio 4. Hugh directed a 10-part short comedy sketch series with comedian Frankie McNamara for BBC Studios.
A Queer filmmaker himself, he's currently writing/directing BLAND for BBC Film, a short film that explores the atomisation of modern life through a darkly comic and Queer lens, with filming scheduled for August 2025. He's also in production of his debut feature documentary DREGS.
For Film and TV he's represented by Curtis Brown.
