Paul is a passionate producer, loves creative people, and relishes the chance to challenge traditional creative parameters. He has a large list of credits that span over thirty years working in feature films, sketch comedy, television drama, narrative TV comedy, light entertainment, live television and news, but it is the current short form comedy space that really stimulates his desire to push the boundaries of contemporary content to truly embrace remarkable creative opportunities.”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_background” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” bottom_padding=”3%” id=”Jury” overlay_strength=”0.3″][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” width=”1/3″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][team_member image_url=”8326″ team_memeber_style=”meta_below” link_element=”none” color=”Accent-Color” name=”Julie Eckersley ” job_position=”Producer” description=”Julie is a creative producer with over 20 years experience in the industry.
