This young movie-maker believes that video levels the playing field in the filmmaking of any kind due to its affordability and availability, and that that the only true resource a video-maker is a solid, well-thought out idea; the rest is simply implementation. There is no excuse for video-makers not too fulfill their creative urge, you can always beg, borrow, or steal a camera. His short videos (mostly shot on borrowed or discarded cameras) have been included in various local and international film events and screenings. Prior to 2007, Paul had been nationally known film critic, festival manager, and film curator. He has since resigned from those previous careers to focus on his work as a film and video-maker. His first feature film Kado Hari Jadi (The Anniversary Gift) (2008) has been shown at various festivals and events worldwide. Di Dasar Segalanya (At the Very Bottom of Everything) (2010) is his second feature film.
