Hi, I'm Paul J. Salamoff. For over 35 years I've immersed myself in film, TV, video games, and commercials, wearing many hats—from writer and director to producer and 3D storyboard artist. I’ve developed projects with studios and production companies like Legendary Pictures, Mosaic, Hollywood Gang, Blumhouse, and more, and I teach screenwriting at The New York Film Academy. My feature "Encounter" marked my directorial debut and earned the Saturn Award for "Best Independent Film. " I’m passionate about world-building, character arcs, and bringing ambitious ideas to life across media. Recently, I’ve been applying my storytelling expertise to improve AI writing models and collaborate with researchers on creative AI projects. If you want to talk about crafting compelling narratives and visual storytelling, I’m excited to chat and brainstorm ideas.
