In 1979, Hudlin graduated from Assumption High School in East St. Louis.

While an undergraduate at Harvard University, Hudlin directed his thesis project, a short film called House Party, which received numerous awards including first place at the Black American Cinema Society Awards.

The film was inspired by his experience growing up in East St. Louis.

1980

They additionally created the "Hey Love" 1980s TV commercial for a various-artists compilation record, that played regularly on late night TV.

1983

In 1983, Hudlin graduated magna cum laude from Harvard with a B.A. in Visual and Environmental Studies.

Hudlin's breakout film was 1990's House Party.

Hudlin directed—with older brother Warrington producing—his first feature-length film, 1990's low-budget teen hip-hop comedy House Party, which starred Kid 'n Play.

One of the messages of the film was its promotion of safe sex.

The film, distributed by New Line Cinema, was, according to Variety, one of the most profitable films of the decade.

New Line wanted to make sequels, but the Hudlins did not feel the compensation or deals were adequate.

1992

He also directed the 1992 film Boomerang.

Hudlin directed 1992's Boomerang, again with older brother Warrington producing.

The film was a big-budget romantic comedy that starred Eddie Murphy, who had a term deal at Paramount Pictures and hired the Hudlin Brothers because he liked House Party. It starred an all-black cast that included Robin Givens, Halle Berry, Martin Lawrence, David Alan Grier, and Chris Rock.

Boomerang was based on an original idea by Murphy and was written by Saturday Night Live writers Barry W. Blaustein and David Sheffield.

In 1992, while making Boomerang, Hudlin wrote the animated film, Bébé's Kids, which was championed by Paramount's Brandon Tartikoff, and was made in memory of comedian Robin Harris, who had died in 1990.

1994

Alongside Warrington, he executive produced the 1994 anthology television film Cosmic Slop, and directed the first of the film's three segments, "Space Traders".

In 1994, the Hudlin Brothers produced the HBO anthology television film Cosmic Slop, of which Hudlin directed the segment "Space Traders".

The segment is an adaptation of the short story "The Space Traders" by Derrick Bell, found in Bell's book Faces at the Bottom of the Well: The Permanence of Racism.

2002

He then directed The Great White Hype, The Ladies Man, Serving Sara (2002), two episodes of the TV series Modern Family, an episode of The Office, an episode of The Middle, and several episodes of Outsourced.
