Comedy director and writer Carlyn Hudson has joined Imposter for commercial and branded content representation in the U.S. Hudson has spent the past few years directing sketch comedy for places like CollegeHumor and Funny or Die, where she honed her talent for directing performance-focused, cinematic, and genuinely hilarious comedy pieces. Her work as a filmmaker ranges from absurd, to subtle, to the darkest of comedies. As a commercial director, Hudson has worked with brands such as Jif, Lexus, Hasbro, Kroger, and Annovera, whose spot starring Whitney Cummings earned a Cannes Lion earlier this year. Hudson’s first feature film, the micro-budget relationship comedy The Big Spoon, starred Zach Knighton and Isabelle McNally and premiered at the Austin Film Festival in 2016. Her horror comedy short Waffle premiered in competition at SXSW in 2020. Other recent shorts include dark comedy/sci-fi The Workplace and Nice Ass, also premiering at SXSW. Hudson is currently writing and directing another feature–this time a biting comedy about sex ed–as well as adapting a queer young adult novel into a romcom for Netflix, and a number of other writing projects. She’s based in Los Angeles. Hudson was previously repped as a director in the ad market by Adolescent Content….

She was initially snapped up by Trek, embedded with the pro-teams at the Tour de France and multiple one day European Classics and by Rapha, photographing their launch into World Tour Sponsorship with Team Sky and several brand lookbooks. This was followed by shooting multiple campaigns with Nike, Puma, Adidas, Tracksmith, Lululemon, The North Face, and ESPN. Eager to continue pushing her unique aesthetic within the brand space and reconnect with her love of moving image, films were a seamlessly natural progression. Her body of film work spans such brands as Nike, Dick’s Sporting Goods, adidas and Dickies…..
