Paula Roman
- Actress
- Writer
- Producer
Spanish actress/writer Paula Roman was born in Seville, the city that
has spawned a great number of brave bullfighters, talented Flamenco
dancers and doctors who want to heal the world with laughter, like her.
Yes, once some very patient patients used to call her Doctor Roman, a
very dangerous thing to do, but don't worry it didn't take long until
she decided to swap the hospital for the theater, the scalpel for the
stage, and Seville for New York and Hollywood! Paula studied drama at
Herbert Berghof and Uta Hagen HB Studio in New York; improvisation and
comedy sketch writing at UCB; screen-writing courses at NYU, and with
several prestigious teachers, like Robert Mckee. After starring in
several independent short movies and on the Off Off Broadway theater
scene in New York, Paula co-produced her first production, the play
"The Color of August" that took her to the underground Sydney stage in
Australia. Fresh from the Antipodes, Paula co-created, co-produced and
starred in the pilot presentation of "La Manzana" (The Apple), an
original half-hour single camera TV series, winning Best Acting Award
at the ITV FEST in LA (2010). Her third project, the short film
"Blackout" (2012), had a successful run at international film festivals
around the world, winning Best Actress awards at Rome International
film Festival (2013), Nyc International Film Festival (2012) and La
comedy Film Festival (2012), and a Best Comedy Award at Lady Filmmakers
film Festival (2012) in Beverly Hills. Paula is currently working on
her first feature film script based on her short film "Blackout" and
has developed a new web series called "Victoria in the Nude," where the
main character Victoria Welcome is inspired by events in her life. She
is also working on a collection of short stories titled "Dr. Roman,"
which is based on funny stories of her life as a doctor, actress and
woman who always gets into trouble.
