Hunter has always had an appetite for movies; good, bad, and ugly. But there was one film that influenced him more than any other, and prompted him to begin a journey into filmmaking: Star Wars. He starting making short films as a teenager, and has directed over 40 shorts since. He founded Omega Pictures with the goal of establishing it as a major presence on the Nashville film scene, keeping projects locally sourced and produced. Hunter has experimented with many genres, gaining the experience and nuance needed to tell stories with vastly different styles, settings, and tones. Hunter holds a BFA in Digital Filmmaking from the Art Institute of Tennessee in Nashville.
