At the age of 7, staying up late with his mother, watching "Elvira, Mistress of the Dark," is where it all began... HutcH then devoured as many horror films as possible, excited by the visceral impact that these images had on his young mind. In high school, he picked up his first Super 8 film camera that he bought from a thrift shop, and began making silent films. During this time he also strengthened his love for literature, excelling in his English classes. Instead of writing reports on the books that he read, HutcH was able to convince his teachers that a filmed version in his own style was more than adequate. After screening his politically incorrect and often graphic versions of "Frankenstein" and "Crime and Punishment" in class, his teachers begged him for copies to show to their other classes. It is still believed that copies of these treasured adaptations still reside in the vaults of an undisclosed high school in the Dallas area.
After graduating high school, HutcH was asked to shoot and edit a documentary about a theatre troupe that was traveling to Scotland to perform a Comedia del' Arte play in the Edinburgh Festival the following year. After spending an entire year filming the on-and-off set craziness that ensued, he was asked to join them abroad. While overseas many hilarious and debaucherous antics were filmed. On the plane ride home many of the cast and crew asked him to leave out some of the more harsh elements. HutcH turned in a toned-down "censored" version of the film to the department that financed the theatre troupe, who were dismayed by what they saw, refusing to distribute it to anyone.
He then attended film school, where he realized that his ability to intelligently talk in circles and nullify the valid points of his teachers and peers was a great asset for someone interested in the film and television field. He is currently completing his feature film thesis entitled "TSWLF".
