Producer
He won multiple awards for his 80's inspired comedy mini-series 'Chantelle: Psychic P.D - Night Division (2020). The show revolves around a 1984 police comedy from the UK that became an overnight hit. The ‘All Access’ documentary crew follows the actors and egos behind-the-scenes of ‘Chantelle: Psychic P.D - Night Division’. From its huge hairdos to cheesy one-liners, cast bust-ups to torrid affairs, Chantelle: Psychic P.D is a tongue in cheek British comedy with a saucy side. The show is a mix of "real" cast interviews, behind-the-scenes footage from on-set, and clips from the fictitious cop show.
Festival Director
Saul is the festival director for the London International Web & Short Films Festival. Each month the festival invites guest judges, working within the industry, to review films from around the world.
Saul currently resides in East London.
