ABOUT THE DIRECTOR
LONDON TO BRIGHTON is the first feature film from Paul Andrew Williams.
Paul began his career as an actor but in the last five years he has written and directed a number of successful pop-promos, viral ads and short films.
In 2001 Paul wrote and directed the short film ROYALTY which would later inspire LONDON TO BRIGHTON. ROYALTY premiered at the London Film Festival in 2001, screened on UK television and was shortlisted for the Kodak showcase, consequently screening at BAFTA. In 2003 Paul was the only UK-based director to be picked up by the Fox Searchlight Director's Lab. His short film, It..s Okay to Drink Whiskey, made through this programme, premiered at 2004's Sundance Film Festival. His UK TV debut, Naked, was pick of the day in Time Out and was well received by audiences and critics alike.
Paul is a prolific writer and will next be directing THE COTTAGE, a relentless dark comedy / inept gangster / full-on horror film. Following that he will film WISDOM'S LAST LEGS, a bittersweet road movie with a dark twist. Both projects will be produced by his partner Ken Marshall.
