Inside the Untold Journey of Creating a Hit Movie Far from Hollywood Lights with Adam Burke and Jud Nichols
Judd Nichols
Yeah, I grew up in the Twin Cities area. I have a dual path in life, so I’m an attorney by day, and I guess I moonlight and take my vacations as a filmmaker. I got into it in the midst of an early career identity crisis, I suppose. I remember taking the Minnesota Bar Exam and feeling like I was signing up for a life living and dying within 20 miles of where I was born, and I guess in maybe the creative panic of wanting to do more with my life, I bought a camera and started auditioning for anything I could. I actually ended up on a reality TV show Surviving on an Island with Bear Grills when I was 27, so maybe like 12 years ago. And yeah, I’ve just been drawn to, I guess, I can summarize this in an interesting way, maybe, law is all about words, the rules themselves and the way they’re applied. What I love about cinema is there’s something so beyond words about it, so I feel like in my life, I deal in the business of words, and then I love also dealing in the business of images, which I think are worth, you know, what’s the cliche, a thousand words, so maybe I’m just trying, I’m trying to 1000X myself is what’s going on here, actually.
