A short comedy segment PTA directed for The Showbiz Show with David Spade featuring a dude trying to get Spade to listen to his band's demo tape. A possible pre-cursor to the "Portlandia" DJ Night sketch?
A 12 minute assemblage of various deleted bits and alternate takes from "Punch-Drunk Love". Originally included on the DVD.
A
very silly 2 minute black and white short featuring Adam Sandler as a
man shopping for a couch. Originally premiered on Sandler's official
site.
A very funny parody of MTV's FANatic complete with slow motion, rock
tunes in the background & lots of emotion....
PTA is a fan of SNL, Fiona was performing & he's good friends with
Molly Shannon, so he thought it would be fun to put something together
for the show.
This 17 minute short was shot by PTA featured a locked-off take on digital video of the torsos
of two guys - a long haired, bicycle panted, chubby ranting about women
as his pal idly strums his electric guitar. Based on a conversation
Anderson found on a discarded audiotape, the characters, portrayed by
actors John C. Reilly and Chris Penn, managed to keep up their inane
dialogue for an irresistibly mind-boggling amount of time like a
flesh-and-blood Beavis and Butthead.
Paul borrowed a camera to shoot this short film.
Cigarettes & Coffee premiered at the 1993 Sundance Film Festival in
the Shorts Program II.
From that short, he was able to develop a feature at the Sundance
Institute’s Filmmaker’s’ Workshop.
The result was Hard Eight, starring Philip Baker Hall, John C. Reilly,
Gwyneth Paltrow, Philip Seymour Hoffman & Samuel L. Jackson, which
screened at the 1996 Sundance Film Festival and the 1996 Cannes Film
Festival.
A 31 minute short film shot by Paul when he was just seventeen years old.
It was written and shot like a Spinal Tap documentary about the rise and fall of Dirk Diggler.
Oh Paul. One day I'm gonna catch up to you.
