PAUL BATTAGLINI

Producer

Born and raised in Northern New Jersey, Paul spent his childhood drawing cartoons and watching movies. He carried his passion for animation on to Columbia High School in Maplewood, N.J. At Columbia, his passion for filmmaking and animation flourished. Paul decided that he wanted to make his childhood hobby a lifelong career.

After graduating high school, Paul attended Temple University's Film and Media Arts program. Paul took a variety of coursework covering all aspects of filmmaking. After his first three years, Paul wanted to add his creative input into every aspect in filmmaking, and being a producer seemed like the perfect fit. During his summers off, Paul has interned for media companies in New York City such as Barnaby Draper Studios and Online.tv Productions. At both companies, Paul worked diligently and learned every aspect of the media business.

Paul recently finished producing his first short film, "The Body," which was written and directed by James Brent Isaacs. "The Body" was recently accepted into the Cape May New Jersey State Film Festival. In partnership with his childhood friend Richard Wyche, Paul started his own production company, Brotherhood Productions, which focuses on producing short films for web distribution.
