Summary
Albert Hughes was barely 21 when he co-directed MENACE 2 SOCIETY with his brother Allen. In the 30 years since he's charted a path sometimes alongside his twin (BOOK OF ELI, DEAD PRESIDENTS, FROM HELL) and in more recent years on his own (the new Peacock mini-series THE CONTINENTAL). What's consistent is his consummate craft and his passion and candid take on filmmaking.

| 0:00.0 | there's a different between a director and a filmmaker. A filmmaker, it's all |
| 0:03.9 | encompassing what their touches on that film. That's a filmmaker to me. A |
| 0:09.1 | director is the one who just comes and calls action and leaves and doesn't |
| 0:13.0 | really checks in and they edit every once in a while. You know, you see the |
| 0:15.0 | man of those. So if you're getting hired for you and what you do and what you |
| 0:20.0 | bring, I've been in this situation more recently where I started getting |
| 0:24.0 | poked and prodded and I'm like, oh, they didn't really want what I do. I was |
| 0:28.4 | checking a box for them. Prepare your ears, humans. Happy, sad, confused, begins now. |
| 0:34.3 | I'm Josh Harrow. It's today on Happy, sad, confused. Imagine barely hitting |

| 1:01.2 | series, the Continental, always been a fan of this man's work. And I know he |
| 1:05.5 | loves stitching movies just as much as I do. I'm so thrilled to have Albert Hughes |
| 1:09.7 | unhappy, sad, confused for the first time. Hey, man. Well, thank you. I wanted to |
| 1:14.6 | be on because I saw you. Whatever it was a week and a half, two weeks ago, I |
| 1:18.6 | forget. And you heard you saw me in my most loopy goofy state because I was |
| 1:23.8 | jet lagged. I felt connection with Joe Silver. Yeah, there was a connection |
| 1:28.2 | because I go, oh, wait, he's funny. He's funny. He must have something going on |
