Paul Santana

A six-time AICP honoree, Paul’s work has taken him around the globe. He has created memorable films for such brands as Nike, Coors, Budweiser, Samsung, Coca Cola, Bose, Jeep, Toyota, Chevrolet, Canada Post, Coors Light, Home Depot, Microsoft, Bosch, Philips, Ford, and Canon to name a few.

His directorial debut for the American Cancer Society “Odds” was recognized not only by SHOOT’s New Directors Showcase but also by the AICP show, and currently resides in the Museum of Modern Art, New York. “Odds” was praised by NPR to be one of the most effective smoking deterrent ads ever created.

In 2018 Paul’s dramatic screenplay Rebuild was a finalist in the Los Angeles based WeScreenplay competition, while his narrative short Oct 23rd, premiered and was honored at the Santa Monica International film festival.

A Director of Photography, visual effects artist and editor, Paul is as comfortable in the post environment, as he is with his eye on the lens.
