Paul Stone- Tales of Times Square
Paul Stone grew up in Sunset Park, Brooklyn, in
the late 1970's and hung out in Little Italy and Times Square before
they became tourist ghettos and native New Yorkers were made a dying
breed. Stone's route to directing took him first to a successful career
as a film editor for bi-coastal Ridley Scott & Associates.
In the five years that he's been directing, Stone has created commercials and
music videos for clients as varied as Donald Trump , Howard
Stern , Rage Against the Machine , Pfizer and MTV .
Along the way, the people Stone has put in front of the camera include Trump
, Stern , Paul
Newman , Jerry Stiller , Tony Bennett ,
and Tyra Banks . Having recently wrapped post production on
the short film, Tales of Times Square, he is currently seeking financing to
complete Tales of Times Square as his first long format feature.
