Paul Nelson

Biography

In tenth grade, my school was organizing a retirement party for our head lunch lady. I asked if I could create a video about her career using my camcorder, and ended up being paid fifty dollars. I couldn't believe I was being paid for something I loved doing so much.

Today, I still enjoy the process of creating. Whether it's for various social media platforms, a digital media campaign, low-budget commercial, or large Super Bowl spot, the storytelling process is still as rewarding as ever.

Over the years I've served in roles as director, writer, art director, director of photography, line producer, first AD, editor, producer, and executive producer on hundreds of broadcast, long-form, and digital video projects.

Additional experience includes extensive international production, executing work across five continents in eighteen countries, as well as having helped create multiple local, regional, and national television series.

Most recently, I have founded a new company, TRG Studios. A creative collective that boasts production, post, photography, print, design, and more.

I bring a skill set that's a unique hybrid of creative, strategic, and business-minded thinking. All done with a cool-under-pressure style, and a continued love for the craft.
