Paul Lawrence was born in Los Angeles at a very young age. A youth spent in the city of the angels imbued him with a love for the movies, music, photography, 1953 Studebakers, Mark Twain and science fiction.
After an appropriate period of time he moved to San Francisco. During his 14 year tenure in that city, Paul studied filmmaking at San Francisco State College, started a professional motion picture equipment sales & rental department at Adolph Gasser Inc. and managed movie theatres.
He also became part of the San Francisco underground art film movement, becoming friends with, apprenticing to and working with Will Hindle and Bruce Conner among others. One of Paul's first films, Street Part B was in the Information show at the Museum of Modern Art and remains in their collection.
After the production of his first dramatic film Ends Tuesday, which was chosen as the opening film of the Baltimore Film Festival, Paul started working as a location scout in the San Francisco commercial film industry. Late in 1980 one of his old camera store customers approached him about working on a 65mm project for Disney's new Epcot theme park and Paul was off on a year long sojourn around the world. A year, 16 countries, and 8 states later Paul returned to San Francisco to make Dreamer, a short film based upon a story his mother Lee had written. That film went on to win several awards and show in festivals and on television around the world. Paul moved back to Los Angeles to be near his family and be part of the dramatic film industry.
Jump forward 20 years. In the time he has been based in Los Angeles Paul has worked as the Aerial Unit Manager on Air America, a Mel Gibson, Robert Downey Jr. film shot in Thailand. He has produced IMAX films. He has become an Assistant Director and Director member of the Director's Guild of America. He has worked with wonderful people, major stars and major pains in the butt on television, movies, commercials, large format, small format, big budget and no budget projects. He spent 6 years on Star Trek Deep Space 9, three of them freelance and three as the Key 2nd Assistant Director. He has written, produced, directed, edited and acted in his own award winning no budget Science Fiction comedy, UFOs, Conspiracy, Sex, or Religion. He has produced and directed award winning short subjects and upped that list of 16 countries worked in to 23.
Paul currently owns Conceptualization, a video production company which specializes in the production of fund raising videos, grant writing, cultural understanding, and safety videos. You can find them on line at http://www.cncpt.com. We are thrilled to have this versatile director join us!
