Michael Kehoe’s Award Winning Short Film ‘Hush’

Michael Kehoe is the writer/director of ‘Hush’, a short film that is taking film festivals by storm. Every time I check my Twitter feed or talk with Michael there is a new update and another award. I’ve never seen anything like it. The last time I caught up with Michael, ‘Hush’ was still touring film festivals and continuing to rack up awards, thirty-two of them at last count. ‘Hush’ truly is fantastic and knowing that there will be a full length film has me really excited. You see, the short is actually one scene from the full length film. ‘Hush’ has been so well received, just imagine how amazing the full length film will be. I should also mention that ‘Hush’ has an all female cast, starring Riley Connor, Alexandra Grace and Kira Halling. . Michael is not new to the film industry, he’s worked on films such as ‘Star Trek (2009)’, ‘Star Trek: Into the Darkness’ and ‘Mission Impossible’.
