PRODUCTION AND POST PRODUCTION CREW
PAUL SCHOOLMAN - WRITER DIRECTOR PRODUCER
Paul Schoolman trained at Ecole Jacques Le Coq, Paris. He acted & directed in Rep & on the Fringe, writing and running his own companies - Blind Summit and Zizi and Pipi with Celia Gore Booth.
He made the short ‘Somewhere Else’ which was shown internationally and was invited to Zoetrope Studios, Hollywood where he was privileged to learn from the world’s creme de la creme for film making for a whole year. Watching the struggle for funding was the greatest training anybody could ever have!
He shot ‘Journey To A Spirit That Lived In Water’ which traced the rise of traditional healers, n’gangas following Zimbabwean Independence. The Brits had banned N’gangas calling them ‘Witch Doctors’ hanging their leaders.
Paul was given the first ever permissions to run film acting & writing workshops in UK prisons, starting in Dartmoor Prison. Supported by a magnificent Steering Committee comprising such notables as Merlin Rees and John Mortimer as well as Home Office officials. Three film scripts were written, ‘NONCE’ by Michael ‘Sam’ Sambridge, ‘STONE HOTEL’ written by Paul and 12 inmates and a draft of ‘STRINGCAESAR’ based on his ‘Julius Caesar Queen of Bithynia’. The BFI selected to make NONCE by ex Para, Sam. When the BFI released a press announcement re NONCE the work was immediately banned. Nobody understood why it had been banned?! It was pulled from the fire by Richard Attenborough who called him at home and said ,’Mission accomplished! Get on with you work!’ The Steering Committee, Richard Attenborough, The Board of Prison Visitors and Judge Tumin all advised Paul to ‘Fight anybody who tried to stop the work!’
Paul continued the work in Drumheller Penitentiary, Alberta, Pollsmoor Prison, South Africa, and Cardiff Prison, Wales, ultimately writing & directing the multi-award winning feature JAIL CAESAR with an ensemble of prisoners & professional actors including Derek Jacobi, John Kani. It screened on Netflix USA for three years gaining incredibly high Rotten Tomatoes, The Independent devoted 2 pages to it. It gained international awards at film festivals worldwide. Jail Caesar has rarely been seen in the UK.
After Jail Caesar Paul was invited to lead an intensive acting workshop at Whatton Prison, the largest sex offenders’ prison in the EU. He is currently developing BLACK MADONNA a play written by, Sam, the ex-para / prisoner /‘asylum inmate . Paul has previously directed Sam in Dartmoor Prison, Jail Caesar and at the Assembly Rooms for the Edinburgh Fringe.
Sam was also championed by Cic Berry, Head of Voice at the RSC. She directed readings of all three film scripts and worked with Paul in Cardiff and Dartmoor prisons. Both NONCE and STONE HOTEL presage the chaos that was to overtake the UK prison system - but they have been entirely blacklisted by the British filmmaking community.
Paul, Alice & C P Ltd produced the feature ’SHINGETSU’. The story of an Austrian mercenary fighting in the Balkans. Former World Heavyweight Mu Thai Champion, Gunter Singer wrote his own dialogue and Alice Krige wrote hers. The film won Gold at the Jakarta Peace Festival, sharing it with former President Jimmy Carter.
Paul has spent the last several years traveling through Israel, Palestine the West bank, working with Palestinians, Israelis and International Activists researching a film that might - by some miracle! - help with a peace making process.
