This is a short film I made for a senior undergrad class at SIU on one of my best friends, Tawl Paul. His life story is much bigger than this 15-minute film, but I wanted to show another side to Paul that some people might not be aware of -- that he is a quiet, hilarious and sensitive cat.

I plan on completing a longer 45 minute to 1 hour film from footage I have gathered and additional footage to be shot over the next year.

Taken from footage shot for the film "It Ain't Pretty". This is live at PK's in October of 2008. One camera, one filmmaker, no extra audio. But at least we have some documentation of the group and Paul.
