Mishu Hilmy
Mishu currently writes, directs, and produces films of various lengths in Chicago; where the past winters have been so cold the only imaginable reason he has stayed must be undefeatable self-loathing. He has previously lived in New York (Brooklyn and Binghamton), New Orleans, and Whitewater Wisconsin—where you can go to find cheese hats, Miller High Life, and rock bottom. Prior to filmmaking, he had spent the past decade desperately seeking validation in a profoundly unsuccessful career in theater and comedy. His theater experience—which can only be described as the opposite of lucrative—lead him to writing and performing in an original comedy special 'Trapped in the Netflix', devising the “diluted social satire” play 'Good Morning Gitmo', and directing the interactive theatrical experience 'Out to Get You'; which the Chicago Reader chronicled as “the sort of unwieldy mess only true ambition could create.” Mishu is grateful to have taken a step away from theater and live performance to focus on filmmaking.
