PAUL BUNNELL (Writer, Producer, Director) began his cinematic journey in 1963 when a doctor first
slapped him on the rear and the sound of a movie projector came out! An avid film collector since
childhood, Paul’s early influences were Alfred Hitchcock, Bob Hope, and Walt Disney. His all-time
favorite movie is Brian De Palma’s Phantom of the Paradise.
Paul’s “film school years” consisted of him sneaking onto Hollywood sets to see how they were made.
He studied master directors like Steven Spielberg, Martin Scorsese, Tim Burton, and even David Lynch,
whom he later befriended. Some of the movies Paul wrote, produced, and directed include The Visitant,
Final Destination Unknown, That Little Monster and his personal favorite, the sci-fi musical comedy The
Ghastly Love of Johnny X, which has the dubious honor of being the lowest grossing theatrical film of
2012, and the last movie ever to be shot on Kodak Plus-X black-and-white film stock.
Paul wanted to make A Blind Bar...
