He was awarded a residency at the Experimental television Center in New York in 2005, which recently led to a grant from NYCSA, the New York State Council for the Arts.

Paul and David have just completed a collection of films to accompany a live performance of John Cage’s Sonatas and Interludes, premiered at The Stone in New York this July in collaboration with pianist Emily Manzo. Paul is currently finishing a feature length documentary shot in the former Butlin's holiday camp at Mosney, which is now used as a holding center for asylum seekers.
