Dudbridge, Paul: - Paul Dudbridge is a British director, producer, cinematographer and educator, making feature films, television, commercials and music videos. Paul started producing at the age of 11 when he roped in his father to shoot his first short film. When the resulting footage didn't match up to what he had seen in his head, Paul decided to go behind the camera himself, and from there the whole notion of making films; directing, scripts, shots and angles started to come about. With over 20 years experience in the business, Paul has numerous film and television credits to his name. His first broadcast credits include producing and directing ITV's The Christmas Storybook, featuring legendary actor Joss Ackland, as well as directing music promos for MTV. His work as a cinematographer includes the action thriller By Any Name based on the best-selling book by Katherine John. As a producer and director, he helmed the science-fiction series Horizon, which went on to win a number of awards at international film festivals, as well as earning Paul a Best Drama Director nomination at the British Royal Television Society (WoE) awards in 2016. Paul's latest project as producer/director is the feature film Fear the Invisible Man due 2019. His first book, Shooting Better Movies: The Student Filmmakers' Guide was released in 2017 by Michael Wiese Productions. When not filming, Paul guest lectures at various universities and colleges around the country. Most recently, he ran the 'Writing and Directing' module for the Masters course at the University of Bristol, taught Cinematography at Falmouth Film School and Advanced Cinematography workshops for BECTU, the UK's media and entertainment trade union. When he's not making or watching films, Paul enjoys reading, chess, fitness, Eastern philosophy, and has just taken up surfing.
