MEL Talks - Todd Hughes & P David Ebersole
Hollywood Lives - Todd Hughes & P David Ebersole are authors and documentary filmmakers. Both independently and in partnership via their production company The Ebersole Hughes Company, they have been writing, producing, and directing films and TV shows since the mid-1980s. This includes the award-winning feature documentary House of Cardin, about the iconic designer Pierre Cardin, which premiered to a standing ovation at the 2019 Venice Film Festival in the prestigious Giornate degli Autori section. In 2021, My Name Is Lopez, a concert/documentary feature film about the trailblazing Latino rocker Trini Lopez, won Best Documentary Feature Film when it premiered at AmDocs in Palm Springs CA and was picked up for distribution by Cinedigm.
In 2022, they turned their attention to literature, with P David releasing the hard-boiled crime novel 99 Miles from L.A. in May and Todd following in September with the compelling memoir Lunch with Lizabeth. Each is currently working on their second novels.
