Paul James Houghton is an award-winning Filmmaker, Director, Writer, Creative Producer and the founder of Dreamotion Studios. He is working on several projects directly with a major studio in Los Angeles, in addition to numerous independent and collaborative creative projects via his production company and studio. Paul is a proud supporter of equality and diversity in his professional and personal life, and a fine role model for his 2 young daughters. His directorial debut was the award-winning short film, 'From Under The Bridge: When Bullies Become Trolls', which is centered around bullying and cyber-bullying and is based on real events. Paul also wrote the screenplay for this film, which has won many awards including multiple 'Best Film' wins. Originally from England, Paul now resides in Orange County, California. He sold a screenplay to a major Hollywood studio and committed to a career in film in 2019. Prior to this, he supported his family and gained industry recognition as an executive Vice President in Design. He is widely regarded and respected as a proven leader, with extensive creative diversity and business expertise. Paul is a passionate and caring individual, and an advocate for a better world by reducing and eliminating hatred, which is clearly evident in his film - 'From Under The Bridge'. He hopes by sharing his experience as a creative producer, and by documenting his journey as a filmmaker, he will help, inspire and entertain others, while establishing a history of his own personal explorations.

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
