As a UK-based branded filmmaker, I have directed over 30 films for global brands such as UNICEF, UNDP, The World Bank and ChildFund, as well as various governments and corporations. My films have been broadcast internationally to emotively engage with online audiences, successfully advocate for social and environmental change at European Parliament and UN General Assembly, and acquire substantial investments for projects and companies.
I have 7 years experience in working to client briefs, originating and developing innovative concepts and treatments, directing crews, self-shooting, editing and producing films of 30 seconds to 30 minutes in-length. As a shooter I am proficient with Canon C300mkii and Sony FS7, and as an editor with Final Cut Pro and Adobe Premiere.
At this stage in my career I am most interested in further director / producer assignments for branded documentary and factual documentary.

- A Friend of KimIf you think you have a difficult job, then think again. A post as the unofficial public relations representative for one of the world’s most repressive regimes is about as demanding as it gets. Being denounced on international news, shamed in national tabloids and slandered on social media is all just part of the job description for Dermot Hudson, Official Delegate and Chairman of the Korean Friendship Association in the United Kingdom. As the the threat of war loomed between the West and t
