Paul Lindsay's visual style was born over 30 years ago on a random Saturday afternoon in Queens, New York where he discovered "Kung Fu" Theater and became a life-long devotee to action- adventure and comedic films. These pieces of cinematic art captured Paul's interest and fueled his imagination and influenced his quirky off-kilter style of directing. His longing to be an episodic TV director comes from his love of early shows like Fantasy Island, Crime Story and his perennial favorite, Moonlighting. Week after week, those stories inspired him to want to tell his own, with a fresh authentic feel to the material, using the visual style of the shows he loved as kid. After graduating Villanova University and back in NYC, Paul wrote and directed two short films, The Marked Man and SWITCH!, as well as helmed spots for BET. In 2002, Paul co-wrote and directed his first feature, G Chronicles: The Stolen Sample, the first film in the comedic hip-hop superhero trilogy. The film was well received at URBANWORLD, San Diego Black Film Fest, and the Norfolk Black Film Fest. In early 2004, on Oscar night, Paul moved to Los Angeles to further pursue his goals and 12 years later in his career as an Assistant Director, he still relentlessly strives toward his goal of directing for TV, becoming part of the new generation of storytellers. By continually being on set, he has the rare opportunity to learn, observe and work under many directors and is ready to join their ranks.
