Influenced by John Cassavetes, E.B.Hughes was born and raised in New Jersey. He has written 25 screenplays. His one screenplay, "Life's Back Pocket," a finalist in the Nicholl Fellowships in Screenwriting, has been sought after for years. E.B.’s highly-regarded, noir-ish short film, “Harsh Light” (1997), starring Nathan George, Ron L. Cox, and Reyna Kahan, about an aging boxer, won a Maverick Movie Award for Best Narrative Short (Drama). He wrote the screenplay for the film "The Fallen Faithful", which premiered in Florida last month, and will have its Los Angeles premiere on June 21st at the Arclight Theatre.
"Pacing the Cage" is his first feature-length film as director.
In the mold of the best independent filmmakers of years past, E.B. Hughes is a triple threat as producer, writer and director; definitely someone to seriously watch.
"E.B. Hughes' film "Harsh Light" is one of the best short films of the past decade." - Phil Hall, Film Threat
