Historia

Paul is considered to be one of the most exciting filmmakers of his generation. Brought up in Fife, Paul moved to Edinburgh to begin studying film and photography, where he quickly developed a passion for filmmaking. He went on to study film at Glasgow’s RSAMD, where his abilities stood out. His film ‘Hikikomori’ (cinematographer: fellow Dewar Arts awardee David Liddell) received many plaudits, including a BAFTA nomination for Best Short Film, a BAFTA Scotland win for ‘Best New Work’ and a clutch of other Best Drama and Best Fiction Film awards. It also caught the eye of the NFTS, Beaconsfield, and Paul was offered a place on their MA in Directing Fiction course. Through the production and post-production of ‘Hikikomori’ Paul demonstrated the essential discipline required to become a great filmmaker and story-teller, knowing how to tell a story well and balance all the elements of the film to serve the central idea. Paul has already impressed as a filmmaker who is sincerely interested in his art and its possibilities as well as in the world around him and in emotional truth. His is a name to remember.

My Dad and the Volcano
Executive Producer
A story of a father and son and... a volcano.

Burns Night
Executive Producer

Arcadia Live
Director
This depiction of a lost paradise, composed entirely of archive footage, is a portrait of the British countryside that is at times surreal, as well as a feverish search for what binds us together. Images of idyllic farming life make you long for the sense of community of yesteryear, for the wonder of Alice and the White Rabbit, or pagan feasts around a fire. At the same time, they create a tension: not everything was better in the old days.
Veronique
Executive Producer
Veronique is a social realist drama picturing a day in the life of a teenage girl and her mentally ill mother. How does the mother’s borderline personality disorder affect their relationship and how does it feel for a teenage girl to be the person in charge?
Arcadia
Director
Una provocadora y poética exploración de cómo el pueblo británico ha visto su propia tierra a través de más de un siglo de cine. Un viaje alucinado de inmensa belleza y brutalidad. Un ensayo caleidoscópico sobre cómo la magia y la locura han unido al ser humano con la naturaleza desde el principio de los tiempos.
Murder: Lost Weekend
Director
Wealthy American philanthropist Arla Breckman has been missing from the affluent district of Belgravia in central London. Her lover, wayward aristocrat Dominic Cotterall, is besieged with accusations that he has killed her. But what's his side of the story?
The Choice Is Ours
himself
This film series explores many aspects of our society. To rethink what is possible in our world, we need to consider what kind of world we want to live in. Although we refer to it as civilization, it is anything but civilized. Visions of global unity & fellowship have long inspired humanity, yet the social arrangements up to the present have largely failed to produce a peaceful and productive world. While we appear to be technically advanced, our values and behaviors are not. The possibility of an optimistic future is in stark contrast to our current social, economic, and environmental dilemmas. The Choice Is Ours includes interviews with notable scientists, media professionals, authors, and other thinkers exploring the difficulties we face.
