Paul Epstein is an Emmy-nominated Executive Producer, Writer, and Director with over 20 years' experience in TV and film content creation, as of 2023.
Based in New York, Paul has produced compelling scripted, factual, and news programs TV for networks and streamers including Peacock, MSNBC, History, NatGeo, Discovery, and many others.
Paul was an Executive Producer of the true-crime documentary series "Who Killed Robert Wone?" on Peacock, which aired in March 2023, and is the Executive Producer and Showrunner of the factual drama series "Into the Wild Frontier", which was the most-watched TV series on US cable network INSP in 2021 and is entering its fourth season in 2023.
After working as the Assistant Director of over 30 indie feature films, Paul found his first success in TV as a Field Producer on "The Apprentice", Season Two, in 2004. Other Executive Producer credits include "Seduced by Speed" for Discovery, "Navy SEALs: Brothers in Arms" for History, "The 93 Victims of Samuel Little" for Discovery ID, and MSNBC's investigative documentary series "American Swamp".
Paul's feature film directorial debut, "The Last Harbor", won the Grand Prize at the Liege International Film Festival in 2011. He was nominated for an Emmy Award as a Director of the educational series "We Are New York" and was either Director or Producer on the Emmy-nominated series "Gunslingers", "The Men Who Built America", and "A Crime to Remember".
Paul seeks to reshape the TV landscape in favor of longer-format, high-quality programming, which is losing out to platforms such as TikTok and YouTube. He believes factual historical dramas are a great vehicle for creating engaging and high-quality TV at competitive costs.
He is passionate about history and believes it offers TV content commissioners "free IP" in the form of famous historical characters, events, and stories that remain timelessly entertaining for viewers. He believes factual dramas can be more cost-effective than prestige dramas that now over-saturate a crowded market of TV content.
Paul is a member of the Director's Guild of America and is represented by the Agency for the Performing Arts (APA). He holds a Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing from The New School University in NYC, at which he is an alumni mentor to undergraduates and recently graduated students. He also holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in English Literature from the University of Maryland.
