Paul

has worked with directors, ad agencies, writers and artists on both coasts and in between. He is a soft-spoken, creative collaborator who brings to each job an eye for composition, an ear for nuance, and a nose for performance... it’s really quite disgusting. 

 

Fresh off the streets of New York (NYU, M.A. 1990), Paul got his start in the biz as an apprentice to film editor Jacques Dury (Decoupage, Los Angeles). He joined nascent shop King Cut, where he blossomed to ooohs and aaahs and WTFs. He was soon drafted to cut at editorial houses FilmCore SF, Mad River Post LA, and Rex Edit, before going freelance.

 

He has cut hundreds of commercials, for clients such as Travel Alberta, Southwest Airlines, EA Sports, Chevy, Nike, Verizon, Subway, Pedigree, Jiffy Lube, Richmond (BC) Tourism, and many more.  

Awards include Mobius, Telly, Hatch, Anvil, USInternational, Applied Arts, South by Southwest, Brooklyn Film Festival.  

 

Paul cut the indie teen angst comedy HairBrained (2013), starring Alex Wolff and Brendan Fraser, his second feature directed by Billy Kent.  Previously he was the primary editor of Kent's cult hit sex-comedy The Oh in Ohio, starring Parker Posey, Paul Rudd and Danny DeVito (2006).

He is slated to cut the forthcoming In The Wind starring Dave Hill, dir Billy Kent, in late 2026.

 

In 2020 Paul cut the biopic on Cuban Jazz musician Arturo Sandoval: Journey To a Dream (dir Francisco Ricardo, 2020), and in 2022, the architecture mini-doc 269 (Alley Leinweber, 2022). He has been summoned to collaborate as additional editor on multiple projects as well, notably on Lisa Lu Plays Herself (dir. Mei-Juin Chen, 2025) and Leon Trotsky, The Most Dangerous Man in the World (Lindy Laub, 2019).

​

​"Chill", "wry and dry", "easy to work with"... people have said such things, for money. 

He is a dad, a student of language, an explorer and lover of food, light, and clay.  

He digs a creative challenge in any form.
