Paul has spent the last twenty years alternating between the various forms of documentary films. He displays great skill and flair in making programmes creatively successful and is able to cut countless hours of material into cohesive, well-structured programmes (the only use he has found for his law degree). He is especially good with character-driven work, always selecting and weaving in the best possible material. Able to work well with a director, Paul is always positive about the possibilities of the project and offers endless ideas. However, he is also great when left alone, even when given a loose brief, he has excellent editorial judgment.
With an interest and knowledge of music second to none, he has contributed greatly in this area to a number of productions he has been involved in – whether it’s been selecting music for inclusion in programmes, using his contacts to get music scored or giving the composers an exact template to recreate.
