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 Bargain seem like it could have been an episode of Rod Serling's Night Gallery. By shooting on Kodak film and using cinematic techniques from the period, he believes he has achieved this to his satisfaction.
