Paul Bozymowski is an award-winning director, producer, showrunner, and novelist whose work spans documentary film, television series, concert specials, commercials, and branded content. Over a 25-year career, his films have aired on A&E, Fox, Nat Geo, PBS, MTV, History, and Discovery, and his brand work has earned multiple Cannes Lions, Clios, and One Show Pencils.
He has worked alongside artists and public figures including Hugh Jackman, Jennifer Lopez, Sting, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Al Gore, Carrie Underwood, Simon Cowell, Adam Levine, and Miley Cyrus, and has created work for clients including IBM, Toyota, Citi, American Express, UPS, Unilever, Sony, and General Motors.
Television and documentary: Paul was the showrunner of Secret Sauce with Todd Graves, a ten-episode A&E series featuring Shaquille O’Neal, Snoop Dogg, Nelly, Kendra Scott, and Lauren Alaina. He directed two episodes of Nat Geo’s ACTIVATE: The Global Citizen Movement, featuring Hugh Jackman and Usher; American Idol: American Dream, a 90-minute retrospective that aired during the show’s final week on Fox; and The Untold Story of the 90s for History. His documentary Miley: The Movement followed Miley Cyrus through her reinvention and the controversy of the 2013 VMAs.
Artificial intelligence: Paul has been telling the story of AI for more than a decade. Throughout 2011 he documented the development of IBM’s Watson as it prepared to compete on Jeopardy!, producing dozens of short films, commercials, and broadcast segments for an Ogilvy campaign that generated over a billion media impressions and won a Gold Cannes Lion. In 2018 he directed This Is AI, a two-hour Discovery special with IBM examining the past, present, and future of artificial intelligence, with interviews including Max Tegmark and Stuart Russell.
Music and performance: For PBS’s Great Performances, Paul directed American Voices with Renée Fleming at the Kennedy Center, featuring Sara Bareilles, Josh Groban, Alison Krauss, and Dianne Reeves, and Sting: The Last Ship Live at the Public Theater. He also directed Sting’s 60th Birthday Celebration: Live at the Beacon Theatre, with performances by Bruce Springsteen, Lady Gaga, Stevie Wonder, Mary J. Blige, and Robert Downey Jr.
Brand storytelling: His work for Toyota and Saatchi & Saatchi, including Three Nights, Three Days: Endeavour’s Journey Through Los Angeles, captured the Space Shuttle Endeavour’s final trip through city streets and garnered multiple advertising awards. He also directed Generation Astronaut for Unilever’s Axe, a documentary following an international competition to send ordinary people into space.
Fiction: Paul’s debut novel, to be published in 2027, is a literary thriller about a man investigating an AI company, and about what it means to be conscious in a body that can be lost. It draws on his years covering artificial intelligence and his longtime interest in metaphysics.
Across every format, from concert stages to documentary fieldwork, Paul’s work returns to the same question: how people navigate forces larger than themselves, whether cultural, technological, or cosmic, and how they find their footing, or their voice, in a world too vast to fully understand.
