Paul L.

I have been committed to a writing career from an early age. In 1997, I graduated from Staffordshire University with a first-class degree in Film, TV, and Radio Studies. Subsequently, I worked as a Production Assistant on several promos and successfully completed a work placement at Sky Movies. In 2002, I gained an MA in Feature Film Screenwriting from Royal Holloway College of London and since graduation has written several feature and short film scripts. In 2005, I formed FIX FILMS and have written and produced many shorts and other promos. I have also had several short screenplays commissioned by the Mountview Film Academy, the Northern Film School and film director Jonathan Wolff. From 2018, I wrote, produced, and directed the low-budget shorts: Flatmates (2018), Misdirection (2018), Tolerance (2019), and You Have a New Follower (2020). In 2020, I completed a feature film screenplay called The World Won’t Listen. My latest projects have been writing and producing the short horror film, Inferis (2024), writing and directing seven short monologues called, Sin (2024) and writing the sci-fi feature film, Parallel Fates. I am currently in post-production with short horror film called The Suicide Shift (2025). Many of my shorts have won awards and been screened all over the world at various film festivals. Currently, I am working on paid and collaborative projects; as well as writing, producing, and directing my own short films, feature films, TV drama, comedy sketch and sitcom scripts. I am a versatile and prolific writer with ideas in abundance and a strong feel for structure, characterisation, and dialogue of all genres. I have also studied Script Reader Training and have excellent experience reading and giving feedback on feature and short films. From 2008 to 2020, I was on the the stand-up comedy circuit and performed over 800+ gigs all over the country and the Brighton, Edinburgh, and Camden Fringe Festivals.
