Hugh is a filmmaker and creative producer based in New York. He is currently the in-house producer at DualEntry, a fintech startup that has raised a total of $100m to date.

Born and raised in New Zealand, he worked as a cinema projectionist, spending late nights stitching films together in a dimly lit room. He then got hired at Ogilvy as a copywriter, but soon found stitching films together in a dimly lit room to be more his thing. So that’s more or less what he still does.

He has spent 15+ years honing his craft at advertising agencies and production companies around the world, including stints in London, Sydney, Auckland and Nairobi, wearing multiple hats from writer to director to editor to motion designer.

His documentary, The Ronaldo-over, was seen over 6 million times and featured on BBC, TIME, Hypebeast, CNN, and the reddit front page, while his comedic narrative short, A Guide To Dining Out In Nairobi, was awarded at multiple film festivals.
