That same year Paul directed two music videos for RCA records and was awarded The Coca-Cola Refreshing Filmmaker Grant Award.

Paul's original screenplay "Eileen's Ice," starring Ms. MacLaine, will begin production in 2009. Paul wrote it in co-chair, Richard Walter's 434-screenwriting class in 2000.
