Paul Williams

Paul produced an award winning film about experimental art, music and film iconoclast, Tony Conrad: Completely in the Present, which premiered at Tate Modern in the UK. This was soon followed with the non fiction film about the English folk queen, The Ballad of Shirley Collins. He has worked with the likes of Crispin Glover and the notorious CS Leigh. In October 2018 Drag City Records released his musical collaboration with Chicago’s Dead Rider Trio. He now heads the recently established Lush Presents film division for the global hand made cosmetics and activism brand. With films in development with, among others, Julien Temple (Great Rock n Roll Swindle, IBIZA) Paul's experiences in fundraising, distribution and exhibition are enlightening and valuable... and often very humorous.
