Anthony Hull, Director of Media and Photography
Anthony Hull is a multitalented personality whose body of work includes hosting, interviewing and acting.
Born in New Jersey to an African American father and a Korean mother, Hull spent his teenage years in Peoria, Ariz. before his love of basketball led him to the a walk on spot for the University of Coloardo basketball team.
During his sophomore year, his hoop dreams gave way to his newfound passion: entertainment. Hull found work quickly, as ManiaTV, a 24-hour online network, offered him his first job hosting.
While there, director of marketing Sarah Chambers praised Hull’s “energetic personality” as well as his “ability to both keep his viewers and show content in mind while also understanding the overall company goals.”
Hull conducts each interview with a conversational approach to create a comfortable environment for the interviewee. This leads to a lively and candid product engaging for his viewers. Among his past interviewees is a diverse range of artists from Matt and Kim to Lupe Fiasco.
“Music is a big part of my life,” Hull said. “I was introduced to bands like Duran Duran, Bruce Springsteen and New Edition from my brother who was a teenager in the 80s. I would actually sneak his tapes without his permission.”
Another endeavor of Hull’s is his webshow, “Ant’s World.” The short episodes focus on the stories of people that inspire him. Those profiled include Josh Sherman, a professional snowboarder turned street wear entrepreneur; Boulder heroes 3OH!3; and his brother Al, a marine and football player for CU’s 1990 national championship team.
Recently, Hull grabbed his biggest piece of the spotlight yet by appearing in a national ad for the HTC Rezound, a phone made in collaboration with Beats by Dre. After practicing his craft for years at the Interactive Theatre Project in Boulder, he secured the HTC gig despite living on the opposite coast of the Los Angeles casting call.
Now based in New York, Hull hosts at MTV as a VJ and correspondent. He is also filming a documentary about Harlem Prep, a charter school rebuilt and re-imagined after letting down its students for years.
Anthony Hull represents a new wave of creative thinkers that refuse to work in only one lane. With a bigger city – and a bigger stage – at his disposal, the 25-year old has a career sure to grow from its strong roots.
“He has charisma, credibility and a quick wit, “ said Emmy winning producer Richard Ayoub. “On the red carpet, celebrities can’t pass him up and on the screen, viewers can’t keep their eyes of him.”
