“I love telling stories…big stories, small stories, true stories, but most importantly, stories with heart and soul. Stories grounded in purpose that champion the underdog, the unlikely and the overlooked. In an age of social, political and ecological discord – stories that connect and remind us of what it means to be human are more important than ever”.

Originally from New Zealand, via a decade in London, Paul is now based in Australia.

Equally at home crafting a moment of real-life or interpreting a scripted scene, it’s all about finding stories that connect with our common humanity. Filmmaking has taken Paul to over 40 countries, helping him develop a film style steeped in the complexities of human emotion, utilising intimate cinematic portraits that blur the lines between fact and fiction, yet are firmly anchored to a human-centric soul.

Paul’s work has been recognised and awarded at YDA Cannes, Ciclope, Kinsale Sharks and the 1.4 Awards.
