I began writing songs and music at the age of 21 so I was quite a late starter. I then went into the studio for the first time to record the songs and formed my own band Paul Push after that. We then played some gigs around London until I started singing in the workingmen's clubs around London and Southern England doing cover versions of popular hits from the 50's-90's - as well as impressions of well-known stars and celebrities.

My love of movies then inspired me to write my own movie scripts and eventually my novel which I later adapted into a screenplay for future production. Breathe Safely, which began as a short, is my first movie and I currently have four other screenplays in development. With the earnings from the sales of Breathe Safely - the movie, album and You Wanna buy? the novel, I plan to invest the money in the production of You Wanna Buy? - The movie, based on my original novel.

I’ve already been offered a production deal for You Wanna Buy? by an Australian Producer I met at the Cannes Film Festival, but it was the kind of deal where he wanted artistic control over the movie, and as you can see, I love to be in control of my own work artistically - as well as financially. Besides, it’ll be such a buzz if I can play the major studios and producers at their own game and be fully independent and self-financing.

I learned a lot during the making of my first movie Breathe Safely and I must just give a mention to the brilliant actors, the inspiring crew, and all the fab people who worked for reduced rates or no pay at all during post-production. You guys know who you are. While we’re on the subject, a million thanks to everyone who worked on Breathe Safely.It was a thrill and we had a fantastic time together!

So, as you can see, in order to be an Artist, you often have to be an Entrepreneur and a Businessman at the same time. And this is why I’ve decided to do the worldwide distribution myself as well as the publishing of my own novel and music – all through my own company www.paulpush.com.

It’s so much more rewarding this way. Too many good movies these days can’t get a decent worldwide release and distribution deal and I’ve heard from so many other Producers who’ve sold their movies to Sales Agents or Distributors and have earned very little money.

Nowadays if a record company representative doesn’t like the first 20 seconds of your demo tape, it ends up in their bin. And it’s so difficult to get even a Literary Agent to read the manuscript of a first-time author, never mind the Publishers who are growing increasingly nervous of taking a ‘risk’ on first-time Authors.

Yet these are very exciting times right now with the popularity and technological brilliance of the Internet and eCommerce. The timing is just perfect for Moviemakers to distribute their own movies on a global scale. The major studios and distributors have a virtual monopoly of the cinemas but the hugely-increasing popularity of Video and DVD sales means that even the smallest producers can find their market.

THE MAKING OF BREATHE SAFELY

Despite being an independent movie without the kind of budget available for Studio pictures, the latest technology in Computer Generated Imagery (CGI), camera equipment, Dolby Sound and post-production techniques were used during the making of Breathe Safely. The movie has originality, action, comedy, probably the most amazing, unforgettable bedroom scenes you will ever see (PG13 Rating expected) and some great locations - including 10 Downing Street, the home of the British Prime Minister. We were very lucky to be given full access for our filming, and this in itself is quite rare. It was incredible to see how accommodating people can be when you ask for permission to filmat their premises.

Breathe Safely has screened at film festivals around the world and has had some excellent reviews from both the Press and Industry alike. Audiences have always enjoyed it, but when many people approached me to say how it inspired them to quit smoking, it gave me the idea to make it The first ever movie with a money-back guarantee if you don’t quit smoking.

And I’m so confident that if after watching Breathe Safely, any smokers who buy the Special Edition ‘Kick The Sickarettes’ Set haven’t quit smoking within 30 days, they can have the movie for free and get a refund. They just pay for the calendar.

Breathe Safely now,

EUROPE 2019

Smoking is now illegal and carries the Death Penalty. The EEC (European Economic Community) have imposed unprecedented laws that strictly prohibit any form of smoking activity or products whether in privacy or public. Overnight the tobacco companies have been wiped out.
It is the duty of The A.I.R (Air Intelligence Regiment) to enforce the law and deal with any felons. The A.I.R are a highly-trained combat squad of elite officers. A ruthless and fearless military force with total and absolute powers to uphold the law and protect the public. Armed and dangerous, their weapons are loaded with a powerful anaesthetic disinfectant which, if fired, can render its victim unconscious within 5 seconds and extinguish the hazard of the cigarette. Not surprisingly, they are feared and respected by all smoking criminals.
The Smoker's Co-operative Of Underground Militants (SCUM) continue to smoke their smuggled cigarettes which are available at an incredibly high price from secretive underworld dealers on the black market
.
Not only do they risk death by smoking themselves, but the small number of surviving SCUM terrorists who remain at large are deliberately defying the law by smoking openly in public places. Their activities have spread panic and fear amongst the law-abiding public.
