Paul James Houghton
Paul James Houghton is an award-winning Director, Writer, Creative Producer and Filmmaker and the founder of Dreamotion Studios. He is working on several projects directly with a major studio in Los Angeles, in addition to numerous independent and collaborative creative projects via his production company and studio. Paul is a proud supporter of equality and diversity in his professional and personal life, and a fine role model for his 2 young daughters. His directorial debut was the award-winning film, 'From Under The Bridge: When Bullies Become Trolls', which is based on a true story centered around bullying, cyber-bullying and suicide. Paul also wrote the screenplay. The film has acquired a collection of accolades, including multiple 'Best Film' wins.

Originally from England, Paul now resides in Orange County, California. He sold a screenplay to a major Hollywood studio and committed to a career in film in 2019. Prior to this, he supported his family and gained industry recognition as an executive Vice President in Design. He is widely regarded and respected as a proven leader, with extensive creative diversity and business expertise.

Paul is a passionate and caring individual, and an advocate for a better world by reducing and eliminating hatred, which is clearly evident in his film - 'From Under The Bridge'.

He hopes by sharing his experience as a creative producer, and by documenting his journey as a filmmaker, he will help, inspire and entertain others, while establishing a history of his own personal explorations.
