A recent LA transplant from Chicago, she is deeply committed to elevating women directors, as well as providing opportunities for emerging talent to break into the film industry. At the American Cinematheque, a 501c3 nonprofit boasting over 1,500 film screenings a year, Imani curates, plans, and executes unique and engaging film events. She has worked to put on events with A-list filmmakers and talent such as Sofia Coppola, Jordan Peele, Daniels (Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert), Damien Chazelle, Christopher Nolan, and many more.


Within her work at the American Cinematheque, Imani founded and put on the inaugural PROOF Film Festival in October of 2023. PROOF is one of the first ever short film festivals completely dedicated to proof-of-concept short films. Imani thought of the festival concept and put on the first edition to rousing success within a year of starting her position at the AC. The first year of PROOF included screenings of over 40 hand-picked short films from emerging talent, industry mixers and panels, and film industry decision makers in attendance such as representatives from Sony, Lionsgate, Gersh Agency, MACRO, Hartbeat Productions, ColorCreative, and more.


Outside of her role as a film programmer, Imani co-founded Film Girlz Brunch, a monthly casual meetup of women in film in Los Angeles which has formed a number of partnerships and hosted many events in just over a year of starting. She also co-hosts “Players: A Film Industry Podcast” with fellow filmmaker and producer Demma Strausbaugh which is dedicated to demystifying various industry topics in an accessible and fun way.

At the American Cinematheque, a 501c3 nonprofit boasting over 1,500 film screenings a year, Imani curates, plans, and executes unique and engaging film events. She has worked to put on events with A-list filmmakers and talent such as Sofia Coppola, Jordan Peele, Daniels (Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert), Damien Chazelle, Christopher Nolan, and many more.


Within her work at the American Cinematheque, Imani founded and put on the inaugural PROOF Film Festival in October of 2023. PROOF is one of the first ever short film festivals completely dedicated to proof-of-concept short films. Imani thought of the festival concept and put on the first edition to rousing success within a year of starting her position at the AC. The first year of PROOF included screenings of over 40 hand-picked short films from emerging talent, industry mixers and panels, and film industry decision makers in attendance such as representatives from Sony, Lionsgate, Gersh Agency, MACRO, Hartbeat Productions, ColorCreative, and more.


Outside of her role as a film programmer, Imani co-founded Film Girlz Brunch, a monthly casual meetup of women in film in Los Angeles which has formed a number of partnerships and hosted many events in just over a year of starting. She also co-hosts “Players: A Film Industry Podcast” with fellow filmmaker and producer Demma Strausbaugh which is dedicated to demystifying various industry topics in an accessible and fun way.

You might ask, who is Paul?

"Born to Filipino immigrants in Oakland, California, Paul is an award-winning director of photography who works internationally in both scripted and documentary. 

After working at Lucasfilm, he earned his MFA in Cinematography from UCLA, learning from then cinematographer in residence, Roger Deakins, and afterwards working as an electrician for Emmanuel Lubezki.

In 2009, he was awarded the ‘Colón de Plata’ for Best Cinematography at the Huelva Latin-American Film Festival in Spain for his work on the Bolivian feature ZONA SUR, in which every scene was covered in a one-shot rotating master.  ZONA SUR won Best International Feature at Sundance 2010 and garnered praise in American Cinematographer magazine.

His 2nd feature, LAND WITHOUT EVIL (IVY MARAEY), shot on 35mm film earned him honors at CamerImage 2014, Berlinale 2015 and the NY MOMA.

His 4th narrative feature, 88, a political thriller, shot on anamorphic, premiered at 2022 Tribeca Film Festival and will be distributed in theaters early 2023.   

Recently, TAB TIME Season 1-2, a children’s show hosted by Tabitha Brown was nominated for 2 Emmy’s, for Outstanding Preschool Series and Outstanding Host.  The visuals of TAB TIME were inspired by the soft lighting of Chivo in CAT IN THE HAT and the playful colors of PEE WEE’S PLAYHOUSE.

On the documentary front, Paul recently lensed the visuals for a Netflix documentary directed by Sam Pollard on the late basketball great, Bill Russell, and his impact on the modern athlete using their platform for activism and change, and is currently collaborating with PJ Raval on an Untitled Philippines documentary addressing indigenous land rights in the mountain provinces.

Paul’s visuals are unique to each piece, fully supporting the story.

When not on set, Paul can be found playing tennis or soccer, or in the islands with his family. "
