Paul was born in New York City. His mother, Dorothy Koster Paul, was a casting director, and his father was in the investment business. He began his career as a child actor at the age of 7, and began writing plays when he was 12.[1] At the age of 21 years old, he made his directorial debut with Falling in Love Again, which he also co-wrote and produced.
Paul's producing credits include Never Too Young to Die, The Musketeer, Ghost Rider, Bratz: The Movie, Doomsday, Tekken, Ghost in the Shell, Rambo: Last Blood, and the Baby Geniuses series. He is also actor Jon Voight's manager, and previously managed Gene Wilder, Michael Cimino, and Bob Clark. He originally set up Paul Entertainment in the early 1980s, teaming up with actress Bo Derek in 1987 to sell the unreleased feature film A Knight of Love.[2]
In 2000, MM Media and Crystal Sky had a 12-picture co-financing deal.[3]
In January 2017, Paul purchased the distribution company Echo Bridge.[4]
