Paul Inman Double Exposure Portrait

Bio

Paul Inman is an award-winning filmmaker and writer who crafts stories where the extraordinary bleeds into the everyday. Born and raised in coastal South Carolina, he still calls the area home, living just outside of Myrtle Beach with his wife, Kim, and their daughter, Parker.

A graduate of Coastal Carolina University, Paul holds a BA in Music Performance and an MA in Teaching. This musical background infuses his visual work with a unique rhythm and cadence. Currently, he balances his creative pursuits with teaching Digital Literacy to adult learners at HCS Adult Education.

His film work has garnered accolades from the Beaufort International Film Festival, the Stephen King Rules Dollar Baby Film Festival, and the Crimson Screen Horror Film Festival. Whether he is directing a horror-comedy or writing a time-travel thriller, Paul is driven by a passion to explore new worlds.
