About me

I'm Paulie, and I'm a DP/Director/Editor searching for collaborators and clients who strive to create the best work we can; producing some quality content and enjoying ourselves while we do it.

I’m an award winning DoP with over a decade of experience making films and videos. I care deeply about the images I create and the stories I tell. I don't feel confined to any one genre; my skills and knowledge apply to any sort of content, from pulpy horrors or dramas to glossy musicals or comedies to run-and-gun verité docs.

As a queer millennial male from the rust-belt, I think I have a diverse artistic dichotomy of style and sensibilities, as well as a serious blue-collar work ethic.

I'm nomadic. Though I’m based in Los Angeles, I often find myself living and working in my second home of Las Vegas, my former home of New York City, or the cities surrounding my original home in Ohio (Cleveland, Akron, Pittsburgh)

In addition to narratives, docs, and music videos, I've also shot an abundance of branded content for brands like HUGGIES, AXE, AUDI, GEICO, ORAJEL, CLOROX, STAIN-MASTER, M&M, and JC PENNY to name a few, as well as dozens and dozens of promo videos of all kinds for the Broadway theater community.

Notable credits include..
-SENIOR, feature film, 2022
-MOTHERSTRUCK (2019 Tribeca Film Fest)
-BIG FEMME ENERGY, music videos for Rapsody and Kiana Lede.
-BABY RUBY, feature film, 2nd unit pick-ups
-URBAN TRANSIT, 10 original narrative ads I wrote, produced, directed, DP'ed, and colored.
-MELINDA'S WISH (Best Cinematography nom, IndieX Film Fest), starring BJ NOVAK and BOBBY MOYNIHAN.
-PHILOSURFERS (Best Cinematography, Houston Film Fest)
-TAPER (Official Selection: Newfest)
-BOOGALOO BOIS IN THE WOODZ (Official Selection: Venice Shorts 2022)
-Scary Mommy Studios, full-time DP for 3 years, shooting HUNDREDS of videos: narrative, doc, food, & more

I'm laid-back but professional, hard-working, self-sufficient, and I owe most of my success to my friendliness and good vibes!
