US Veteran - Global Producer
When he was 21, Cory Hudson joined the US Army with the simple goal of helping serve his country. After completion of Airborne School and Ranger School, Hudson became a paratrooper in the 82nd Airborne Division; he didn’t know it at the time, but his service would help launch his 15-year career in entertainment and finance.
During his time as a producer on the Dr. Phil television show, Hudson met a single veteran mother (Liz Hooker) with three deaf-blind children. Hudson produced the episode that was nominated for an Emmy Award but he wanted to continue helping her long after the show aired. He then produced an internationally acclaimed documentary, Through Your Eyes, about Liz’s inspiring story, which included a cross-marketing campaign aimed at raising awareness and critical funds for deaf-blind children. Its soundtrack debuted at #4 on Billboard’s Top Ten; the film is still actively used in school curriculums; and more than $1 million was raised through donations and film sales to benefit the Deaf-Blind Children’s Fund.
Hudson went on to produce more than 30 music and video online media projects. His cross-cultural success has allowed him to secure major output blanket agreements in all media for both physical retail establishments and online media vehicles. Hudson was also the founder of a record label and publishing company, created to vertically integrate with his entertainment production company that cross-marketed film, television, internet, and music projects for both domestic and international distribution.
Hudson’s background in finance and international business led him to China, where he was the Director of International Business Development and Strategic Investments for the Sunivo Group, a credit facility approved by the Chinese government. He was responsible for the development of the company’s mergers and acquisitions and their expansion into the entertainment market in US.
