Paul Swadel

Elam graduate Swadel has shown his eye for both the artistic and the eyecatching both in his own award-winning work as a director — short films, commercials, arts programmes (Colin McCahon: I Am) — and as producer: longtime collaborator with animator James Cunningham and on digi-feature incubator Headstrong.

"... technically dazzling and showcases a promising talent."
