Despite a difficult childhood - moving between group homes and foster care - Paul turned early to writing short stories and pursuing photography. Self-taught, with an "avant-garde" and radical approach, his photographs and writing caught the attention of industry professionals who chose to support him. A lifelong film buff, discovering narrative filmmaking was a turning point. His first short film "Bottom" was a major success, earning an official selection at the Clermont-Ferrand International Short Film Festival. Today, after directing his first narrative feature film "The Key", Paul is developing another project with HTTH Productions.
