TEAM

Paul Yoo

Paul is an accomplished producer, writer-director, and actor who is versed in the work that goes on behind and in front of the camera. His storytelling has spanned many forms, from narrative to commercials to BTS. These have taken him around the globe to the edges of the known, from mines deep within Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo to the favelas of Haiti and around to the mission to Mars. He’s as comfortable filming from a decrepit wooden raft as he is from video village. Paul has worked with outfits like Warner Bros Studios, USAID, Oath Studios, Makers, and National Geographic. His work has been exhibited at Mountain Film Festival in Telluride, CO, Festival Cinemabiente, and the DC Environmental Film Festival.

Paul understands, first-hand, an actor’s scope of work and appreciates the unique demands placed on talent. His recent roles include playing on Adam McKay’s VICE. A recurring role on Netflix’s Insatiable, and American Housewife. He has promoted countless brands like Toyota, Intel, AAA, and Flonase. Whether he plays a constitutional lawyer alongside a bonafide A-lister or in a two-shot with a 1300lb Hostein cow, Paul is happy to step into these roles. He shares a kinship with others who do the same. 

Stepping back from set, Paul enjoys teaching. He has taught storytelling, videography, and editing to media makers in Bali, Guatemala, and Peru. He has spun DNA from the happiest people on earth as a medical anthropologist-type on the Samoan islands and has spent good time fishing and wrangling horses on a ranch in Wyoming’s Medicine Bow Mountains. He has guided youth through formative times as a wilderness instructor. Out of Geneva, Switzerland with IOM, Paul supported the UNAMID mission during the “onset” of the Darfur crisis in western Sudan. He was foiled at trading securities on Wall Street, thankfully. When idealism was high, he volunteered with Mother Teresa’s outfit in Calcutta, India. In a past life, he was a carpenter. He finds the smell of sawdust highly seductive and built furniture for Charles Shackleton in Vermont. 

You’d never know it, but Paul is overeducated. He earned a bachelors from Brown University, a master’s in international affairs and conflict resolution from the Maxwell School of Public Affairs, and a certificate in documentary filmmaking from the Seattle Film Institute.
