Freddie Paull is a British-born, LA-based filmmaker. He grew up in Beaconsfield, just minutes away from the legendary Pinewood Studios. He met Hamilton actor, Paul Oakley Stovall in 2013, and since then the two have collaborated on 4 films, the most recent of which is a 30 minute thriller staring Latin American superstar, Danilo Carrera. Arriving in America months before September 2001, Paull’s work is often reflective of America’s dive into dystopia, with themes of isolation, betrayal, and distrust.
