Blu Hunt is a Los Angeles-based actress, writer, and director. Her career has been thrown a few loops…when she was 21 she starred in an X-Men film, The New Mutants, that was buried by the studio and by the time it came out during the pandemic she was already 25. These days she’s ready to leave her superhero era in the past and focus on writing + directing, what she really cares about. Blu has made a few smaller short films that are still being edited, but the one she’s most excited about is titled BATS and was cowritten with her best friend Sally Sum, who’s also the star. Recently she also starred in, and executive produced, an indie horror film directed by Elric Kane (@purecinemapod) that’s called The Dead Thing. Lucky for us, Blu is here to tell us what she’s been into.
