ACTOR WHO PLAYS KATE HUDSON AND HUGH JACKMAN’S SON IN AWARD-WINNING FILM

SONG SUNG BLUE IS QUICKLY GAINING ATTENTION

Bringing Emotional Depth To His Role, Actor Hudson Hensley Reveals His Experience While On Set Of Film

January 28, 2026, 2023

Media Contact: PR Mavens – jennifer@prmavens.com

Nashville, TN – Hudson Hensley, the young actor portraying Dana, the son of Kate Hudson and Hugh Jackman’s characters, in the critically-acclaimed film Song Sung Blue, delivers a standout performance, lighting up the screen in every scene he appears in.

While receiving high praise for his grounded and memorable performance in the film, Hudson’s genuine charisma, both in the film and in real life, continues to win over audiences across the world.

A true “old soul” with a pro’s work ethic, Hudson continues to build momentum with upcoming projects in development and production, while still finding time to volunteer at the Ronald McDonald’s and develop his entrepreneurial spirit through his dog-walking business.

Hudson is now taking interviews and can discuss:

• The audition that landed him the role of Dana in the film Song Sung Blue
• Breaking into the industry and building a sustainable acting career
• Preparing for complex, character-driven roles
• The realities of working in today’s film and television landscape
• What he looks for in scripts, collaborators, and stories that matter
• His experience on the set of Song Sung Blue and other projects
• His experience working with the film’s stars and how he developed long-lasting relationships

Hudson congratulates Kate Hudson for her well-deserving nomination in the film, saying, “CONGRATS to @katehudson (the best MOVIE MOM ever) on her BEST ACTRESS OSCAR NOMINATION!!!!”

“Network” (1976)

Program Director: Take 2, cue Howard.

Beale: I don’t have to tell you things are bad. Everybody knows things are bad. It’s a depression. Everybody’s out of work or scared of losing their job. The dollar buys a nickel’s worth; banks are going bust; shopkeepers keep a gun under the counter; punks are running wild in the street, and there’s nobody anywhere who seems to know what to do, and there’s no end to it.

We know the air is unfit to breathe and our food is unfit to eat. And we sit watching our TVs while some local newscaster tells us that today we had fifteen homicides and sixty-three violent crimes, as if that’s the way it’s supposed to be!

We all know things are bad — worse than bad — they’re crazy.

It’s like everything everywhere is going crazy, so we don’t go out any more. We sit in the house, and slowly the world we’re living in is getting smaller, and all we say is, “Please, at least leave us alone in our living rooms. Let me have my toaster and my TV and my steel-belted radials, and I won’t say anything. Just leave us alone.”

Well, I’m not going to leave you alone.

I want you to get mad!

I don’t want you to protest. I don’t want you to riot. I don’t want you to write to your Congressman, because I wouldn’t know what to tell you to write. I don’t know what to do about the depression and the inflation and the Russians and the crime in the street.

All I know is that first, you’ve got to get mad.

You’ve gotta say, “I’m a human being, goddammit! My life has value!”

So, I want you to get up now. I want all of you to get up out of your chairs. I want you to get up right now and go to the window, open it, and stick your head out and yell,

“I’m as mad as hell,

and I’m not going to take this anymore!!”

Prada Marfa neighbors

Greetings from The Highway!

Driving along US 90 in West Texas this year near the Prada Marfa store, I came across this on the Marfa-Van Horn section of the highway.

It is a “Tethered Radar Balloon” that I was wondering might be part of the Blue Origin Rocket Base, 100 miles or so North of there.

I did not notice this last year and being so close to the road, I would not have missed it.

It was visible for many miles and

I don’t think it was traffic control for the Parade Marfa Store,

which was about 10-15 miles down the road.

Not sure if this is similar to what “Creating News Now” (CNN) is reporting over Montana.

“Anderson, The Sky Is Falling, The Sky Is Falling” or “The Russians Are Coming! The Russians Are Coming!’

Lookout, that Green Comet might be “The Blob” (1958) about to strike Earth!!! 

I think we all need to watch the 1976 movie classic, “Network” and the 2020 docudrama, “The Social Dilemma” and then ask ourselves how manipulated we’ve become. Honestly, I’m not sure if truth exists anymore…at least in media.

The post “I’m as mad as hell and I’m not going to take this anymore!!” appeared first on Good News!.

Dr Ma Xiaoqiu, a self made billionaire wearing three titles of three outstanding Hong Kong listed companies, is first and foremost a humanitarian and a dreamer. She believes that people are equal and that the future belongs to a collective world, where China and the United States and all countries co-exist in peace, with respect to each other’s cultures and identities. MXQ Lifewater product- “better cells better health” is what she had in mind, a plant based treatment to enhance immunity through modern technology, and she found it in the NutraNaNoSphere technology that sends the nutrients directly to blood cells; while family films and family values are what she pursues and holds above everything else. Without a family, what do we have? If world pandemic has taught us anything, that is we must care for one another. But who will tell these stories? Who will support those acts? This is one of the reasons why Dr. Ma Xiaoqiu insists on investing in American technology and American films, especially the writers, directors and the talented youths who have dreams but without means to fulfill these dreams. China’s reform and opening up in the past four decades have provided Ms Ma enough materials to share with the world. Both as a witness and participant, Ms Ma knew how the Chinese people adhere to their dream of living a decent life to swallow pains and sacrifices. It’s her wish that through heartwarming stories and a woman, a mother’s sensitivity, Ms Ma invites the world into the heart of China and see and feel…

We choose Dirt Merchant Film Production is precisely for the above reasons. Dirt Merchant shares the same creative concept and the founder Henning Morales is consistent with our belief that people do get second chance. Who doesn’t go astray once or twice? Talent alone is not enough, Ms Ma doesn’t wish to see these talented youths will have to put their dreams on hold for 40 years, like her!

We hope that through the inaugural collaboration of DYF Entertainment and Dirt Merchants, our first co-production – X Tao will find a way to China and to our further co-productions to come, movies, more sophisticated and feature length. And to find the road to the unknown – XTao aided by the power of music and dream for a better life and a better world.

Lastly, to Ms Ma, music connects the world. In those years of working 14-16 hours a day and being displaced from ones’ homes through massive urbanization, what gave Ms Ma and her generation hope and solace was none other than the music that soothes the soul and caress the wounds. Blues, Jazz are among them. In the midst of hard work and the dream to get rid of poverty, Ms Ma and her friends found their own songs. They put them on stage when that moment comes, 25 years overdue…

Although only 45 minutes in length, Ma Xiaoqiu’s story has “Marvel moment”, heroines who don’t give up in front of adversity. In ordinary mundane life is a strife for an extraordinary moment that defines who we are.

XTao- the road to the future is not completely unknown!

This is such a classic science activity that your children will absolutely love. I loved doing it so much myself and watching the changes that seemed to happen within the hour!

It only required a few materials to set up this science experiment and inspired Possum (aged 3.5 years) to learn more about plants and how they absorb water.

This activity is an amazing visual for kids. It teaches them how a plant absorbs water up it’s stem and nourishes its petals or leaves.

The brightly coloured water will transform the white flowers within only a few minutes.

It’s amazing and creates a great ‘WOW’ factor for kids. To do this science activity you will need the following materials –

White flowers (chrysanthemums, roses or daisies would work well)
Small containers or jars
Water
Food colouring

I used chrysanthemums, but you might like to use whatever white flowers you have available. Obviously some flowers may not absorb water as well as others.

To set up this activity I simply used a collection of small jars. I added 1/2 cup of clean water and 10 drops of food colouring to each of the jars. Red, yellow, green, blue and purple were the colours I made the water.

I didn’t have purple food colouring so I needed to create it using a combination of red and blue drops. Possum loved watching how the two colours, when combined, made a completely new colour.

How to make your flowers change colour
Quite simply, I cut the stem of the flowers so there was about 6 inches of stem remaining before placing one in each of the jars.

I highly recommend ensuring there are no leaves left on the stem as it can go mouldy in the water, which will reduce the time you can keep this activity. Place your jars in a safe location that will gives them some lovely natural sunlight. We placed our on the kitchen windowsill.

Making predictions
I wanted the end result to be a surprise to Possum and so I asked her what she expected to happen to the flowers over time. Some children may benefit from drawing their predictions. It’s also a great idea to do this because children can return to their initial predictions and make comparisons to the actual end result.

TA DA!
This is the result of the flowers absorbing the coloured water after one week. All of the flowers absorbed the coloured water and highlighted how it travelled all the way to the tips of the petals to nourish it. Mind blown.

But what is even more surprising is that within an hour of us starting the experiment we were able to notice some changes to the white flowers. Amazing! Every three days I snipped off a bit of the end of the stem, which kept the flower fresh and absorbing water.

I’m sure you’ll agree that the results we experienced in the colour changing experiment were absolutely amazing. It did seem like we had magical colour changing flowers.

Possum loved watching the changes over the course of the week. One thing we did observe was that the flower in the purple coloured water didn’t absorb quire as well as the others. Still amazing, but less vibrant in comparison.

We also observed that the flower seemed to be able to separate the two food colours. We mixed them make the purple colour initially, but you can see how they separated above. Cool,

These beautiful flowers, at the end of the experiment, found themselves in some fresh clear water and on display in Possums room.

Of course they were a great talking point for her and her friends that came over to visit her.

This was such a wonderful science activity that I really encourage you to do with your own children. It really didn’t take much to set up and the changes can be observed within an hour.

Your children can make predictions and record the changes by drawing what they see each day.

It’s a great visual demonstration of how plants absorb water up their stem to nourish itself. I hope you enjoy this one.
