Many people fail because they had plenty of opportunities to quit and they took the easy way out, it's those who keep going and are determined to get there no matter what, who succeed. congrats.
What are the names of the 7 features, 2 Oscar winners and 5 nominees ? Curious.
No better time than the present! Good stuff Paul!! Cheers dude!
Martin Landau, Louise Fletcher, Burt Young, Charles Durning, Mark Ruffalo, Ethan Hawke, etc. Features and other credits http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0615209/?ref_=fn_al_nm_1
I worked with Louise I produced Flowers in the Attic. I'm looking for shorts to show at the Oman short film fest.... may I show Boiler Maker? Tnx Mark Ratering
Mark - Louise was in Very Mean Men. Boiler Maker is also feature. You can show either one, but looks like you're looking for shorts? I have two shorts, Out Of Exits and The Claddagh Ring.

I believe in the 10,000 hours too. I'm at about 15 years at this and I'm finally seeing it pay off. I guess persistence does pay! Congrats to you on your success.
I'm not sure what the 10,000 hour rule is, but I'm guessing it means hard work. If that's the case, nominate me for the lifetime achievement award. Although... I have achieved nothing.

Brian, so true! I've seen so many talented writer friends fall by the wayside and I think, where are you going?! But they give up and I think, well, more for me.
Thanks what are you doing now? Would you be interested in a free trip to Oman and show your work and talk about the "New Hollwood" to the Omani Film Society? I will tell you dates soon.

Hey Paul. You've done some Awesome work. The accolades are nice, but even nicer that the films stand on their own merits. Always great when a writer/director has a unique, strong voice and vision.

Way to go Paul and keep up the great work.
Way to go, Paul. I've just finished a screenplay. Details are on my profile. It'd be awesome if you could take a look and share your thoughts.

AWESOME!!! Congrats on all of your hard work paying off!!!!
Hi Paul - congrats on everything! If you're ever looking for a DP - check out my work at www.ericgiovon.com. Would love to collaborate.
Hey Paul, firstly I would really like to congratulate you on your achievement/s it really does give hope of ever reaching that level or close enough to the one you reached, but the dream continues as I'm sure there's more films to make. I recently graduated this year, writer/director is it would be. I'm fortunate enough to have been working with my lecturers as they 4 of them co-own a production company, but this has been as a memeber of the camera department. to try in minimum this: I want to start focusing on my writting and most of all start Directing. I would like to know your journey to your first production. for you to be where you are, started somewhare I hope you'd be so kind as to sahre. Thank you

G'day Paul from a New Zealander now living in NYC!
That's quite a string of achievements. Congrats to you, Paul, for your hard-earned success. I've been writing (books, not scripts) for close to thirty years. Much of that time was spent learning and improving my craft while bringing up my kids. It was hard, often frustrating, but it's led to some small successes. I'm glad I didn't give up.
Hi Paul, Please check out my website http://pagosasun.com/wilson/pfeiffer/ . Either would make a great movie or series. Civil War vets. Ann
Hi Paul, wasn't you a co-writer with 'What doesn't kill you'? Have you ever thought about producing/directing a 3D CGI animated feature?
@PAUL: I like your comment "..only 31 years!" In the arts, generally, I think it usually takes about that long before you can actually start to make a living at it. :)
I am a songwriter only - not a musician, singer or in a band. I believe it all does start with a song and that is my gift and talent to the world... my exceptional songs. I have been called "The Golden Pen". I record in Nashville and write mainly in Indie/Country/Pop genres - ASCAP and Harry Fox Agency member. My work is out on SoundCloud at http://soundcloud.com/goldie-locks-1 My songs have been considered for NSAI Publishers Luncheons, on the radio, recorded/published on various artist's albums - one internationally, on an award winning Indie film, and been on the Independent Music Network charts for over a year. If you ever have a need for top notch original songs, please feel free to give me a holler...
Hello and welcome I loved the Boiler Maker.
Congratulations!!!
Only 31 years, Paul? Then I still have time ;-)
