Over the last decade Paul’s live action shorts and animations include BAFTA in Scotland winners Battenberg (Stewart Comrie, 2010), Fixing Luka (Jessica Ashman, 2012), Monkey Love Experiments (Ainsley Henderson, Will Anderson, 2014), No Place Like Home (Cat Bruce, 2016), The Inescapable Arrival of Lazlo Petushki (Sven Werner, 2017), My Loneliness Is Killing Me (Tim Courtney, 2018) and Widdershins (Simon Biggs, 2018).
