Born & raised in Washington Heights New York, I was the "fat kid" who was teased all through my grade school days at Incarnation School. I found early escape to the first row of one of the several movie theaters in my neighborhood. That experience set me on a path to where I am today. For the past 33 years I have owned and run JHD Productions Ltd. I started with a partner named Jeff Hopkins and since my name is Hugh Daly...The JHD was born on August 29th 1979. In 1984 we became a NY Corporation and remain so to this day. Jeff left the business in 1992 and we still remain friends. As I have said many times over the years "I love what I do and would do it for free if that were possible"
JHD is a fully equipped production studio with almost all the bells & whistles of the Big Guys. We are totally mobile and can shoot either in our 2100sq.ft. studio or anywhere worldwide. For more about me, check out my IMDB page bio under HUGH C. DALY. and of course to know more about JHD, check out my website:jhdproductionsltd.net

Go Go Crazy
(
Film
by Fred M. Caruso (Comedy)
Audio Sweetning Welcome to Go Go Crazy: a contest where talent and ambition take a backseat to speedos and desperation. Five shameless contestants with little to gain and nothing to lose take to the stage in a gay nightclub for a chance to achieve go go boy glory and a $1000 cash prize. On the judging panel are a burned out porn star, a Celine Dion "embodier," and the raunchy nightclub owner - all of whom threaten to steal the spotlight from the fame-hungry, back-stabbing contestants. Starring iconic drag comedian Hedda Lettuce, gay adult film star Jake Steel, and some sexy broadway actors, Go Go Crazy is a hilarious, outrageous mockumentary from director Fred M. Caruso (The Big Gay Musical). With a little sex, sabotage, and dirty tricks, this movie will turn you on, bend you over with laughter, and then give you a happy ending. Written by Fred M. Caruso
