His documentary debut is Finding Joseph I: The Story of Paul "H.R." Hudson.. This gripping oral history features H.R. How could one so tremendously troubled produce such an incredible body of work and have made such an impact?Finding Joseph I features interviews with H.R.’s family, bandmates past and present, friends, and those he has influenced and inspired

"From their modest beginnings, the band's rise to prominence within the underground scene is meticulously documented. By collecting stories and experiences from pretty much anyone who has ever been in close contact or shared a stage with H.R. the reader really gets the impression that no stone was left unturned as the main events in his life and career all unfold chronologically."
