Video Production
Principle Players:
Currently, Paul works as Professor of Digital Video at Tempe's University of Advancing Technology, where his knowledge in the field continues to grow while he trains the next generation of digital filmmakers. He is also pursuing a Master of Fine Arts degree in Digital Cinema and continues to freelance as a video producer, editor, and compositor. Paul serves on the Board of Directors of the Phoenix Film Foundation and on the Advisory Council of IFP/Phoenix, the latest chapter of the national Independent Feature Project organization. Paul is one of the executive producers and an occasional writer and director for IFP/Phoenix's weekly TV series, Screen Wars which over the course of 2 seasons was nominated for 13 Rocky Mountain Southwest Emmy Awards (including Best Arts & Entertainment Program in 2007). Paul is currently developing a reality television series and is in preproduction on his next feature film.
Steve went on to co-write, produce, and star in three short films for HBO and the SciFi Channel (where they played frequently for several years!), and he helped Steve Oedekerk get his first feature film Smart Alex off the ground. A rewrite on Boris and Natasha, starring Dave Thomas and Sally Kellerman, and an option by Motown Pictures on his original screenplay The Bodyman gave Steve his start in feature screenwriting. Moving his wife and three kids to the somewhat saner and colder environment of Buffalo, New York, Steve switched gears and built a career for himself as a Telly award-winning commercial writer and producer. Leveraging his skills as a writer and performer, Steve went on to create what is arguably the most popular and recognizable television character in Buffalo's history. Becoming known as a talent in his own right and also as a nurturer of new talents brought Steve in contact with many young filmmakers in Buffalo and continued to stoke his love of the medium. In 2001 writer-director Paul DeNigris tapped Steve to produce and star in his debut feature film The Falls. Building on their success with The Falls, Steve and Paul are now in preproduction on their next feature film. |
