Paul Ziller Writer//Director//Producer
completed the New York University Graduate Film and Television Program in the early 1980's, on the heels of fellow alumni
Spike Lee and Jim Jarmusch. After serving time as Supervising Editor for New York's infamous Troma Films
(‘The Toxic Avenger’), Paul moved to Los Angeles to work in the Roger Corman "school of filmmaking" where he quickly learned
the essentials of directing on a tight budget. Paul went on to direct pictures throughout North America, eventually settling in Vancouver.
He has directed twenty-five feature length films and has worked on several television series, including Stargate-Atlantis.

In 2000, Paul started up Artsy Fartsy Pictures Inc. with his partner Elizabeth Sanchez.
Paul's in-the-trenches experience as a director, his passion for editing,
and his profound knowledge of the post-production process have allowed him to bring incredible production value
to their projects. He reconnected with Roger Corman, who agreed to distribute their first film, Avalanche Alley
(Ed Marinary, Nick Mancuso). The success of this film led to their next projects, Firefight (Stephen Baldwin)
and Snakehead Terror (Bruce Boxleitneb Carol Alt), opening up relationships with other distributors and
broadcasters.
