Mini Biography:

After years of commercial print work and community theater in Connecticut and New York, Paul David Ostroski graduated to the silver screen. Well, not exactly silver, or even bronze–maybe platinum is the best way to describe the road that led him to his first feature film. He proudly subway-ed himself to a sound stage in Queens, New York, owned by Platinum Pictures, where the leading lady, Marilyn Chambers, greeted him with utmost thespian charm. The project, Party Girls (1989) (V), was so low-budget that Paul had to play two different roles, one of them being a glorified featured extra. In the credits for this film Paul was billed incorrectly, but was grateful that they spelled his name right. Casting director Felicia Fasano is also in this film. Years later, in Hollywood, Paul continued to be a daring little fish in a very big pond, pumping out many commercials, films and television projects regardless of what continent or language they will be released in. In fact, most of them will never be released due to lack of funding, collapsed distribution deals and questionable subject matter. He’s also been directed by Alan Smithee in three films! This actor with many names believes that if “the big break” occurs, it could happen in your 70s, so there shouldn’t be too much of a rush or an obsession to reach the top–especially in your 70s.

Ostriker’s productions have been broadcast in more than 50 international territories and have garnered more than twenty international awards including a Gemini for HITMAN HART, wrestling with shadows, and the CFTPA’s (Canadian Film and Television Producers Association) Chetwyn Award for Entrepreneurial Excellence. He served on the Executive Committee of the Academy of Canadian Cinema and Television, is a lifetime member of the Canadian Society of Cinematographers and is the past Chair of the Canadian Independent Film Caucus.
