About

Paul Holtzhausen

Writer, Director & Filmmaker. I've spent more than two decades at the center of film storytelling — directing, editing, and building marketing campaigns for some of the biggest titles in cinema — and today I lead my own studio, HAUS FILM.

My path runs from assistant editor to senior trailer editor at Create Advertising (Spider-Man 3, Casino Royale, Quantum of Solace), to Creative Director at Lindeman Associates (The First Purge, Pacific Rim: Uprising), to Co-Owner, CEO & Executive Creative Director of Vibe Creative — where I oversaw campaigns for Ant-Man, Django Unchained, The Purge franchise, Maleficent and more.

Today, through HAUS FILM, I apply that instinct to generative AI — producing high-end content for brands and IP, and building tools like ReFraim that streamline how studios localize and produce.

My short film MONITOR played the Cannes Short Film Program and won Best Picture at the Hollywood Boulevard Film Festival. I hold a BFA from Florida State University Film School, where my thesis film was one of five chosen for full funding.

I'm currently open to executive creative & AI-production leadership roles.

Philosophy

AI is a tool. Story is the point.

Through hands-on production, I've found AI's first real advances in filmmaking land in four places:

/ 01

Streamline

Compress production and post-production workflows from weeks into hours.

/ 02

Generate

Create original digital assets instead of modeling from scratch or relying on stock.

/ 03

Animate

Bring still and 2D material to life — the territory studios like Disney are investing in heavily.

/ 04

Expand Scope

Give storytellers the grandeur and scale that budgets used to forbid.

Trajectory

Twenty-plus years, condensed.
