PAUL MICHAEL BLOODGOOD is a 4x Lone Star EMMY® & CLIO Entertainment Award-winning film and commercial director, SAG-AFTRA stunt performer, and movement specialist. Bloodgood’s 20-year career as a professional ballet dancer presented him the opportunity to perform a myriad of principal roles in theaters worldwide. Growing up on the road across the US and Europe, he is the son of late musician Michael Bloodgood, founder of the platinum-selling band BLOODGOOD. Bloodgood holds a BA in Dance and the Humanities from Saint Edward’s University and is currently earning his MA in Media Producing from New York University Tisch School of the Arts.

Bloodgood directed the feature documentary TRENCHES OF ROCK, executive produced by Academy Award®-winner James Moll (FOO FIGHTERS: BACK AND FORTH, 2011). TRENCHES had its world premiere at the Oscar-qualifying Atlanta Film Festival, garnering the attention of 18 festivals worldwide and receiving 14 accolades including multiple “BEST FEATURE DOCUMENTARY” and “BEST DIRECTOR” awards (Apple TV • Amazon Prime Video • YouTube • DirecTV • Blu-ray). Two of Bloodgood’s latest projects, CLIO Entertainment Award and Lone Star EMMY®-winning POE: A TALE OF MADNESS and 4x Telly Award-winning MARIE ANTOINETTE: VAMPIRE QUEEN OF VERSAILLES were filmed on a virtual production soundstage with a 50-foot curved LED screen utilizing groundbreaking technology known as “The Volume” – combining real props with backgrounds built with Unreal Engine. Both projects stand at the precipice of film industry tech seen in big budget productions such as Star Wars’ THE MANDALORIAN and THE BATMAN. In addition to the New York Festivals TV & Film Awards silver trophy, POE has also received Hermes Platinum, Marcom Platinum and Davey Gold awards.
