Shortfundly Desk · Worldwide ·
Hudson Williams, known for his recent breakthrough in a Canadian queer hockey romance, is currently writing a new feature film centered on an ex-hockey player. The project marks his transition from acting back to writing and directing, roles he explored through several short films before his acting career took off.
Williams previously wrote and directed shorts including "Soakers," "Buttons," and "Inside Augustine Mendoza's Quotidian Apartment." These early works established his voice as a filmmaker prior to the success that brought him wider recognition over the past year.
He has described the writing process as "getting tripped up" by "Heated Rivalry" parallels, suggesting the new script grapples with thematic echoes of the project that launched his current prominence. The film remains in development with no production timeline announced.
This brief draws on reporting from Variety.
