'Sauce' is off to see the wizard...

No, not THAT Emerald City, Toto....Seattle, Washington, the other Emerald City!

I am very excited to announce that the dates for my film, sauce (v): to make agreeable or less harsh, have been announced!
'Sauce' will be playing the Seattle True Independent Film Festival (STIFF) on June 6th and again on June 7th!
It's always nice to have your work accepted, especially by an established and successful festival like STIFF.  I am very excited to have my film show here.

So, all you Seattle residents, please come out and support my film!  For the rest of you, stay tuned for future festivals and dates that 'sauce' will be playing!

I said I wanted Gritty...and then, I did it on ACTUAL film!

Here are the gritty results from my recent photo shoot with Photographer Christopher Singleton.

I had come across Christopher's work on ModelMayhem and while most of it was nudes, I was struck by the "grit" and "wash" of his work.  It looked dated, almost like it was authentic photos from the wild west.  One particular picture shows a man dressed as a classic cowboy and I could believe it was real, and from some distant time.  I also found out that Chris shots with real film, which is extremely rare now, and was intrigued by that fact!
So I decided it would be fun to work together on something, lucky for me, Chris was very excited to work together and had a trip already planned to LA!  So an old mattress and an alley later....we had a shot!
Here are the results!  Special thanks to the MUA, Lilly Vivona.  Hope you enjoy....

Get the REEL Paul (new & improved)

I am very, very excited to announce, and finally share, my brand spanking new; Acting Demo Reel!!  It has been years (where does the time go?) since I updated my reel, so it is exciting to have a new version to show!  I am also excited to finally be able to share some of my more recent acting work! 
The reel was expertly and professionally edited by Ryane McNally who has done an amazing job (and someone I highly recommend if you need an editor!).
This version of my reel is a sleeker, quicker, more entertaining and efficient version!  I am truly excited to share it!  Please check it out below (embedded from my Vimeo.com page), and add it to your favorites, post it to your walls, or just pass it along if you enjoy it! 
Thanks for your support! 
Again, a big thank you to Ryane for her amazing work editing, and to all the amazing cast and crew I have worked with that helped make this reel possible!!

I Speak Swedish!!

I speak Swedish!  Ok....not really...but more on that later....
This past weekend, I had a blast working with the talented production company Kamisol on a commercial project for Sweden.  I can't discuss specific details on the project yet, but as soon as I can, or once it's complete, I will update here!
What I can say, the commercial was directed by Markus Johnson who was a blast to work with!  Besides being a talented and fun director he could always also consider a career in teaching!  Since, last minute, they decided it would be great for the lead actress and I to speak a few lines of Swedish!  Since neither one of us speak the language, Markus taught us how to speak it (or at least fake it for the purpose of this commercial).  He was successful in teaching us and I look forward to seeing the final product!  My understanding is that it will appear in numerous forms in Sweden (television, print, billboard, online) so I guess anyone based in Sweden or planning a trip there should keep a look out.
Hmmm....maybe this is the perfect excuse to plan a trip and visit somewhere I haven't been yet!!
See a few fun behind the scenes photos below from the shoot.  Thanks again to the entire cast and crew, it was a blast working with you all!!

New Gallery Added to GetPaulHoward.com: Xue Vue Photography

GetPaulHoward.com has been updated with a new gallery added to my portfolio, showcasing my work with photographer, Xue Vue. 
I have had the pleasure of working with Xue numerous times now.  One of the things I love about working with him is he's always down with something new and different and seems to have the ability to change his style much like I change my looks. 
Since he is based in Northern California I usually set up a time to work with him when I visit family, usually once or twice a year.  We've added to the diversity of our work by using the extreme seasonal differences of Northern California, in our shoots.  From our first shoot, an edgy and hot (literally) couple fashion shoot in Old Sacramento, that took place on the old train tracks (and trains), to our most recent more moody (and rainy), "city life" DKNY inspired editorial shoot in downtown Sacramento, Xue always produces amazing images!  Easy to work with, creative, and just a nice guy, I look forward to continuing to work together in the future!  Creating more and more, new and diverse images!
See what we've done, so far, here, and trust that that this gallery will be an ever expanding one!

Smart Car Clip

Here's a fun spec commercial, just released, that I did in 2010 for Smart Car.  It was a really fun and laid back shoot that we did in the "desert," south of Las Vegas.   Not only did I have a lot of fun working that day with the talented cast and crew, but I really enjoyed seeing the final product.  From the original story boards, to filming, and now complete....I think it turned out great!
See what you think, and enjoy!

*Fun Fact: The Smart Car really is quite roomy when you are sitting in it, but I'm not going to lie, it looks miniature when you are standing outside it!
