Ewan Marshall:

Paul Nadler:
Paul Nadler has been a firebrand, award winning artist in the world of media and television, both before and after a near-fatal car accident in which he acquired severe brain damage. He cut his teeth at Musique Plus in the early 1990s, after studying philosophy, communications and educational technology. At MusiquePlus, Nadler was the packaging designer for such popular shows as Perfecto, Clip Postal and Transit, before creating the hit show Zone X, which he also produced. After Musique Plus, his next challenge was field producing the CBC's Street Cents. Nadler was instrumental in the re-packaging of the show, which went on to win the Gemini Award-winning show's redesign. Additional freelance assignments included directing and creating the show opening for Up Close with Sonia Benezra.
The brain damage he experienced in the car accident in the mid 1990s forced Nadler to re-invent himself. He went back to university to get his Master's degree in communications at the Université du Québec à Montréal.
Paul’s strong-will and creative efforts to regain his life have certainly paid off. Since Braindamdj’d 11 was completed in 2006, Paul has traveled all over the world to present the film at festivals. Some of the countries he has visited include: Australia, New Zealand, India, Taiwan, Japan and Spain, to name just a few.
The film has garnered many awards as well. It won the coveted Peabody Award; was the most nominated documentary at the 21st annual Gemini Awards with 4 nominations two of which it won: Best Biography Documentary and Best Direction in a Documentary for Paul. It also won the Grand Prix award at the prestigious Japan Prize competition and the Grand Prix Award at the Moscow Disability Film Festival.
