Paul Korver

Paul Korver (born November 18, 1971) is an American filmmaker, producer,[1] and entrepreneur who currently resides in Los Angeles. With early turns as an actor[2] in his twenties, in 2002 he returned to his early love of cinematography[3] and founded Fifty Foot Films, "a Hollywood-based company that is dedicated to fixing major life events on film",[4] a rare move which "many videographers regard as too risky, sensitive, and pricey to be profitable."[5] Four years later the New York Times chronicled the startup and success of the company in its Small Business section.

In 2008 Korver, started post-production company Cinelicious and "has his sights set on leading a post-production renaissance in Hollywood."[6]

In 2014, with former head programmer of the American Cinematheque, Dennis Bartok, Korver launched a distribution off-shoot of Cinelicious called Cinelicious Pics.
