Aperture Atlantic 2008

In September, 2008, I was interviewed on the Eastlink show Aperture Atlantic, about my career as a filmmaker. Here are the clips:







It was fun - always nice to talk about my favourite films!

What Next?

Now that Eternal Kiss is wrapped, my legion of fans (ed. note: hahahahaha) may be wondering - "what next for Paulus?"

The answer is that I'm returning to the paranormal with two projects - I start work as co-writer, co-producer and director on a television series called "Maritime Ghosts" tomorrow, which will take me throughout the Maritime provinces and New England over the next couple of months, hunting ghosts and exploring all sorts of allegedly haunted places. At the same time, I'm editing three UFO-related documentaries for an American distributor, which you can expect to see on TV and DVD sometime in the Spring of 2009 (more details to follow). And, of course, I'll be overseeing the post-production on Eternal Kiss, and working on developing new projects, both documentaries and drama.

2008 has been a good year for Redstar Films and yours truly. 2009 promises to be even more exciting, and full of adventure!

Stolen Wings

Stolen Wings

City of angels
where people speak
but make no sound,
conscience chides them
slaps them hard -
they laugh
and pour another.
Voices cry,
in numbers growing,
deaf ears
preoccupied with owning the stars
ignore the light within.
No remorse...
No regrets...
not even a handout...
they take flight
on stolen wings.

When I Was Young

Some random photos, from the days when I was green and carefree, famous amongst the barns.


That's me, my Dad, my sister Sharon, and my brother Jim.


So long as it's not an Audi, I can drive it!

New Frontier

New Frontier

Soul grifters...
time drifters -
no longer
heavy lifters,
Independence,
but no longer
independent,
Pluto towns
Jupiter frowns…
faces like the aftermath
of a nuclear weapons test.
The irradiated chickens
(half lives and half wits)
have come home
to roost
on the new frontier –
pick a channel
and watch them
cluck.

When I Was Fab, Vol. I

From the Mail Star, 1985, after I had won a spot on Nova Scotia's team to the National High School Debating Championships in Montreal. I was the first student from Prince Andrew to ever make the team - Nova Scotia finished 2nd that year as a team, and I placed 11th in the country individually.

Even as a debater I was a bit of a rebel - shirt undone, tie askew, hair out of place. Ahh... the good old days!

Flood

Something I've been working on...

Flood

A cornucopia of bright-eyed pastel pasted smile
talking heads
their monotone pleasure-drone of mindless witless
pseudo-new-light assault babble
as they hustle for silver to build a bridge to heaven
or score a limo ride to the nearest streetcorner
of earthly desire,
a flood of spit rains on them.
Holy water.

Colorado photos

I had a great time for two weeks in Colorado, where I was directing the play Doing Time at the 2008 Boulder International Fringe Festival. Here are some pics:


That's me with actor Annie Briggs, who played Leda in Doing Time, at the Rocky Mountain National Park during one of our days off. Annie, who I first met when she was a high school intern on our MacBeth shoot back in 2003, has gone on to study acting at Queen's, and did a fantastic job as Leda! She has a great career ahead of her.


This is me with Christina Cuffari, the actor who played Jane in Doing Time, the role she had in the original run here in Halifax back in November, 2007. We visited the Glenwood Adventure Park and toured a really cool cave at Glenwood Springs. I can't say enough good things about Christina, so I'm not even going to try, other than this - I would work with her on anything, anytime, anywhere. She's that good. Keep an eye out for her feature film debut in Eternal Kiss, sometime in 2009.


The three amigos at Rocky Mountain National Park.

Having a great time when you travel depends a lot on who you travel with. I was fortunate enough to have Annie and Christina with me on the trip to Colorado - they did great work, and we had tons of fun / adventures. Kerouac Kimball couldn't have asked for more!

P.S. More photos to come, but here's me at Doc Holliday's memorial, Glenwood Springs, Colorado (they don't know exactly where in the cemetery he's buried).

Doing Time with two great actors

Christina Cuffari (left, above), who will be playing Stephanie Fielding in Eternal Kiss in just a couple of weeks, is currently performing at the 2008 Boulder International Fringe Festival as Jane in the sci-fi mystery "Doing Time", which I co-wrote with my good friend Mac Tonnies, an American author.

I'm out in Boulder "directing" the play right now - I put "directing" in quotation marks because when you have actors as talented and hard-working as Christina and her co-star, Annie Briggs (right, above), there isn't a whole lot for a director to do once the play starts but sit back and watch the magic unfold.

If this is "Doing Time", I'm going to forego my appeals and serve out the rest of my sentence!!

A Day Off in Colorado

Today was our day off from "fringe-ing" in Boulder, and we took a great trip up to the Rocky Mountain National Park.

This is me near Nederland, Colorado.


Here I am with Annie Briggs in the National Park. Annie is doing great work in "Doing Time" at the Boulder International Fringe Festival, as is her castmate Christina Cuffari, who snapped these shots.


Colorado is stunning!

New UFO-Related documentary

I've been waiting to announce this for over a year now, and finally the time is right. Along with all of the other things that I've been working on publicly over the past year, including Best Evidence, Eternal Kiss, and Synchronicity, I've also been working on a documentary about UFO personality Kal K. Korff, sub rosa, i.e. undercover. This has been done as a co-production with a film production company in the Czech Republic, where Korff, an American ex-pat, has lived for several years now.

The film profiles Korff, and his strange and sad journey through the world of ufology and other things. It was necessary to keep all of this literally secret as we went undercover and filmed Korff in Prague, as well as some work in California and Oregon, all with the aid of a member of his "inner circle". The only person outside my immediate production team who was aware of the project was my good friend Mac Tonnies. The film is in many respects inspired by the Errol Morris classic, Mr. Death: The Rise and Fall of Fred Leuchter, which is probably my favourite documentary.

The feature-length documentary should be hitting a television station near you (well, in Canada at least) in the spring of 2009.
