MEET HUGH MCPHERSON
Producer | Director | Writer | Actor
The Movie Star Next Door©
So you really want to know about me?
For 32 years I lived inside radio. I became the guy they called when a station was losing millions.
Thirty-four projects. Thirty-four turarounds. THIRTY-FOUR Record-Setting stations, Manager-of-the-Year awards, six-figure bonuses. I never missed,...34 out of 34....but something was missing...what was it?
the challenge was gone! Everyone said the radio business had chnaged but maybe I had changed? Now I hated going to work every single day. The job had become nothing but interruptions interrupted by more interruptions. I was successful by every external measure, but I was not designing the life I actually wanted?! So in February 2015 I made a decision.
At the height of it all, I just got up and walked away…
That was the day everything changed. I returned to my roots, my intention when i started in radio...to be a creative mind and truly entertain. Now I write, produce, direct, and star in my own independent films — as myself, as The Movie Star Next Door or as a character. I make the movies I want to make, on my terms, with full creative control and I use DEBT to raise all the money too!
So What’s next?
-
My Porn Star Wife!©—a high-concept romantic comedy with action based on a true story!
-
3-2-1 Hemlock Court—a psychological dark comedy about a misfit therapist who proves Murphy's Law—by accident!
-
Who’s Your Uncle?—every club dj's dream to own the radio airwaves comes true—by breaking every rule—a true story!
-
PLUS...a growing slate of films by other amazing & creative independent filmmakers that I am working with!
This is the life I chose.
No more corporate interruptions and mission statements.
No more living someone else’s rules and their definition of success. Just the movies.
Just remember that...a good plan, violently executed today...is better than the perfect plan executed at sometime next week...and Debt Doesn’t Argue™!
I’m Hugh McPherson.
Still the guy who doesn’t miss objectives — only now the objective is the next great independent film!
Want to join me?
