Paul Budnitz, has always had one foot in art and the other in technology. The son of a nuclear physicist and a social worker, Budnitz grew up in Berkeley, California, and began programming computers at an early age. By the age of 17 he was writing code for both safety analysis programs for nuclear power plants and video games. After that, he “made a resolution on the first day of college,” he says, “not to do any more computer programming.” He studied photography, sculpture, and film at Yale, earning a degree in Fine Art, with honors in 1990. His first feature-length film, 93 Miles from the Sun, won awards in Berlin. He sold two other films, Ultraviolet (a short film) and 93 Million Miles from the Sun (a feature), and wrote another for award-winning Belgian director Koen Mortier entitled Kilroy.
