Doppelgänger Paul, or A Film About How Much I Hate Myself is a Canadian comedy film, directed by Dylan Akio Smith and Kris Elgstrand and released in 2011.[1]

The film stars Tygh Runyan as Karl, a lonely man who decides following a near-death experience that Paul (Brad Dryborough) is his doppelgänger, even though the two men look nothing alike. Although Paul agrees to edit Karl's unpublished manuscript A Book About How Much I Hate Myself, their burgeoning friendship is tested when he edits it in ways that Karl takes as an insult to his creativity; however, they must reunite to undertake a road trip to Portland, Oregon when the book is unexpectedly and inexplicably published several months later by a different pair of dissimilar doppelgängers whom neither man can recall having met.[2]

The film's cast also includes Arabella Bushnell, Ben Cotton and Bronwen Smith.

The film premiered at the 2011 Toronto International Film Festival,[3] before going into commercial release in 2012.[4]
