About Me

My photo
Paul Kimball
I graduated from Acadia University in 1989 with an Honours Degree in History and Political Science, and in 1992 from Dalhousie with an LL.B. After working for the Nova Scotia Film Development Corporation and Salter Street Films, and as a consultant on film and television to the governments of Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland, I founded Redstar Films Limited in 1999. My work as a producer and director since includes documentaries for networks including CBC, Vision, Bravo, TVNZ, Knowledge Network, SCN and Space: The Imagination Station, as well as the television series The Classical Now and Ghost Cases, and the feature films The Cuckoo in the Clock (2014) and Roundabout (2014).
