Paul Hunter's inventive style has arguably elevated the standard of music video production. Having worked with celebrated musical artists including Jennifer Lopez, Lenny Kravitz, Christina Aguilera, Eminem, D'Angelo, Courtney Love, Marilyn Manson, Sean 'Diddy' Combs, Mariah Carey, Will Smith and Janet Jackson.

Paul is among an elite group of directors who successfully segues between hip-hop and rock, fortifying a diverse client base. After a long and extremely successful career as a commercial and music video director Paul can now add film director to his list of accolades. Beginning production in February 2002 in Toronto, Paul will make his feature length directorial debut with Le Gardien du manuscrit sacré (2003) for MGM. He will be directing alongside producers Michael Yanover, Terence Chang and John Woo. Bulletproof Monk will star Chow Yun-Fat and Seann William Scott, with the remaining cast members soon to be confirmed.

A native Californian, Paul majored in Radio, TV, and Film at Cal State Northridge. His career began working on sets and shooting spec commercials. He continues his work in commercial directing by helming big budget product spots for major corporations, including The Gap and Coca Cola (Dasani). Paul received overwhelming recognition for his work on the projects for Nike and Jordan. The Nike commercial went on to be nominated for an Emmy. His ground breaking style of blurring the lines between commercial and music video has generated widespread acclaim for changing the face of commercials today. Paul directed the music video of a lifetime when he directed the come-back single You Rock My World for Michael Jackson. He directed the multiple award-winning Divas video for the soundtrack to the film Moulin Rouge (2001).
