About me
CREATIVE PRODUCER / DIRECTOR
Paula Virany is a technically savvy Creative Producer and Director, adept at writing, directing and producing television, news, digital content, promotions, contests and commercials.
Paula challenged conventional paradigms, encouraged dialogue and fostered community as Producer/Director of the iconic half-hour show Speakers Corner. Paula boosted the show from 2 episodes to 3 per week and increased ratings to an all-time peak 3 - 5 share. Her curatorial acumen launched Scott Speedman's acting career, and the half-hour spin-off show starring the Devil's Advocates on CTV.
Paula has directed NABET and IATSI television and film crews plus managed ACTRA members, operas, musicals and theatrical productions for the A-house (IATSI) stages of the National Arts Centre, the Elgin Theatre, and Mirvish Productions.

I had the pleasure of working with Paula for many years. She is a highly resourceful, results-oriented producer who is driven by intelligence, an admirable work ethic and immense talent. The woman is a one-stop production machine; her production skill set is second to none. And she has an intellectual curiosity that knows no bounds. Hire her. You will get great results.
