MY OWN PRIVATE PILGRIMAGE is Paul’s third documentary. Shot and edited in IMovie on an iPhone 14 and predominantly from the cyclist’s point of view on a breathtaking solo bicycle pilgrimage across Canada—juxtaposed against the crises of drug addiction and homelessness—this intimate documentary chronicles one filmmaker’s journey of purpose—until a near-fatal fall in post-production forces both his healing and the film’s own surprising rebirth.
With a career spanning photography, documentary filmmaking, and writing, Paul continues to explore themes of human experience, resilience, and creating change through film.
