Dave Paull is an actor/producer/writer with a professional background in radio news - a journalist with strong performing arts tendencies. Dave puts a gentle 'mock' in his mockumentaries and delves seriously in his one-on-one interviews.
Dave Paull grew up in the Pacific Northwest, where he earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in English literature with a minor in theatre from Lewis & Clark college in Portland, Oregon. After a career in broadcast journalism he ventured into producing and directing short documentary films.
Dave Paull has gained recognition for his sensitive, in-depth interviews with Academy Award winners William Hurt and Ernest Borgnine. Dave conducted a surprising on-camera interview with ALIEN actor Yaphet Kotto. That entry won 'best documentary interview' at the NewsFest International Film Festival.
