Paul also made the award-winning film SlamNation, which follows the fierce competition at the National Poetry Slam and helped popularize the dynamic genre with its release in theaters and on HBO/Cinemax and Encore/Starz. An interview with Devlin compromises an entire chapter in the book Words In Your Face: A Guided Tour through the New York City Poetry Slam, which refers to the book as "Slam's Second Bible." Paul's second film - Power Trip - captures a clash of culture that combusts, when an American energy company, AES, must transform the dysfunctional electricity distribution system in Tbilisi, capital of the former Soviet Republic of Georgia. Power Trip was nominated for the 2004 Independent Spirit Award for Best Documentary. Power Trip is available on home and educational DVD, as well as for download on iTunes. Paul's latest film is BLAST!, which follows a team of international astrophysicists led by Paul's brother, Dr. Mark Devlin, as they attempt to launch a telescope on a NASA high altitude balloon. BLAST! is currently in being screened theatrically and the home DVD will be released in the fall of 2010. BLAST! is the first film to ever partner with the website ArtistShare - a website that allows fans to support the work of their favorite artists. Devlin's current project is titled Super Star Dumb, and is a documentary which follows the rock-and-roll career of the Loaded Poets, a band from North Brunswick, NJ. The film documents the band's struggle for success and the member's continued dream of rock and roll fame. The band also appeared in Devlin's first film Rockin' Brunswick, which documented the 1980's New Brunswick, NJ music scene.

Freestyle: The Art of Rhyme
Freestyle: The Art of Rhyme
Producer
From neighborhood ciphers to the most notorious MC battles, "Freestyle: the Art of Rhyme" captures the electrifying energy of improvisational hip-hop--the rarely recorded art form of rhyming spontaneously. Like preachers and jazz solos, freestyles exist only in the moment, a modern-day incarnation of the African-American storytelling tradition. Shot over a period of more than seven years, it is already an underground cult film in the hip-hop world. The film systematically debunks the false image put out by record companies that hip-hop culture is violent or money-obsessed. Instead, it lets real hip-hop artists, known and unknown, weave their story out of a passionate mix of language, politics, and spirituality.
