THE DUDES
The Creator
Chance Calloway
As creator, showrunner and head writer of Pretty Dudes, Chance Calloway is a firm believer not only in quality inclusion and the importance of representation in media, but also in creating quality entertainment across all platforms. As a filmmaker, Calloway focuses on telling wide-reaching visual stories that can change the way people see themselves and the world around them.
As a director, he won the 2018 award for Best Music Video at the Asians on Film Festival of Shorts with co-director Gerry Maravilla for “How We Break (Pretty Dudes Anthem)” and his film Winter was a 2016 selection for the Los Angeles Asian Pacific Islander Film Festival.
As a writer, his comedic short Straight Up screened at the 2015 LAAPFF and won Best Comedy during Asians On Film's quarterly festival in 2015. His book Lost: A Never Novella continues to raise money benefiting families in the Philippines displaced by Typhoon Haiyan.
Chance is a Level Ground Creative and has also used his singing talents on collaborations with musical artists Jason Chu, KOLAJ, Peter Su, and MattAlmodiel. He's acted in stuff too, but he won't talk much about it.
In 2019, Chance launched the streaming service Stoopid Ambitious, a hub for innovative, inclusive indie works by talented filmmakers with voices overdue for amplification.
