Jesse Cudworth (born December 11, 1992) is a filmmaker, photographer, and writer with a deep passion for visual storytelling. Raised on the island of Kauai, he developed an early love for cinema, often sneaking in viewings of films like Pulp Fiction, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and Clerks without his parents knowing. This fascination with storytelling led him to the University of Hawaii, where he studied Media and Creative Writing with a focus on literature.

Cudworth's career spans both narrative and documentary filmmaking, as well as extensive work in the hospitality industry as a photographer and filmmaker. He was a semi-finalist in Project Greenlight's Season 4 Selected Short Films and served as Director of Photography on a National Geographic docu-series filmed in Hawaii. A lifelong writer and storyteller, his work often explores themes of identity, resilience, and the unseen struggles behind everyday life.

Currently based in Northern California, Cudworth lives with his wife, Corynn Marie Cudworth, and their two young children, Liana and Oliver.
