PAUL DUDBRIDGE
Drama Director
Agent: Roger Carey Associates
ABOUT
I'm a producer/director making feature films, TV, and commercials.
I've been making films since I was 11 when I stole my father's family video camera and have been directing films ever since. My drama background and editing experience enables me to have a strong sense of story and what might be needed for the edit to work. I love capturing those essential emotional moments from characters.
In addition to straight drama projects, I have recently moved in to producing more genre based work with some sci-fi, action-adventure and a western project on the slate.
I was nominated Best Drama Director by the Royal Television Society (WoE) in 2016 for my work on the sci-fi show, Horizon.
I have extensive experience of:
· Visual Effects/CGI/Green screen
· Pyrotechnics/Special Effects
· Young performers/child actors
· Multi-camera shoots
· Martial Arts/Action
I am represented for film & TV work by
Roger Carey Associates based at
Shepperton Studios.
I am also a member of Directors UK.
I have written two books on film-making published worldwide by Michael Wiese Productions. “Shooting Better Movies: The Student Film-makers' Guide” and "Making Your First Blockbuster".
"An essential, jam-packed read for anyone hungry to make their movie. Highly recommended" - Editor, Eddie Hamilton (Mission:Impossible Fallout, Top Gun: Maverick) on Shooting Better Movies.
"What a great book! Practical, experienced advice on all aspects of filmmaking. I'm going to recommend this to my students" - Director of Photography, Dean Cundey ASC (Jurassic Park, Back to the Future) on Making Your First Blockbuster.
"An absolute wealth of filmic knowledge. Jam-packed with essential skills and techniques for amateurs and veterans alike". Film director John Badham (Bird on a Wire, The Hard Way, Drop Zone) on Making Your First Blockbuster.
