Mentor of the Month
Heidi Hughes
Heidi and her husband Bill Hughes are
the creators, artists and writers of Matt
Mercury. Heidi has also written comic books
such as The Voyages of SheBuccaneer and
co-owns The Big Tex Movin’ Picture
Company with Bill.
Here’s Heidi’s thoughts on working with
her husband, Matt Mercury, and much
more...
Working with Bill is like living inside a Vaudeville
comedy skit. We are laughing and making up
humorous characters and situations all the time, so
why not put them into movies and books?
I think women bring a fresh, new perspective to
the film industry. Fresh and new equal a bigger
audience and thus a better moneymaking potential
for the business. I cannot speak for how other
women are treated, but I know I’m valued.
