'''Alun D Pughe''' (born in [[Aberystwyth]] on November 28th, 1977) is an award-winning [[Welsh people|Welsh]] film and music video director.

==Biography==

Alun's career began in [[2005]] with a fifteen minute psychological [[film noir]] entitled ''The Girl, the Gun and the Desert''. After the film was optioned for a European graphic novel adaptation it was nominated and later won the [[Swansea Bay Film Festival]] in [[2006]].  Working under the banner of 'All Star Friends Productions', Alun moved directly into the music promo video industry winning the 'Notion Magazine Best New Film Maker Award' in [[2007]].  At the end of the year Alun also won his category in the [[Newport International Film Festival]].  Alun's left field sensibilities and hunger for storytelling attracted him to Sir [[Richard Attenborough]]'s panel of judges in May 2008 where he won Best Short Film (Over 10 mins).

Alun D Pughe is currently working in co-production with [[Andrew Jones]] of Masterplan Films on a feature film entitled The White Room.
