About Paul Castro
American screenwriter Paul Castro shocked the entertainment world in March 2000 with his daring original screenplay A GIFT FOR MOM about a 16-year old boy's quest to find his mother's rapist and to kill him only to discover what's more important than revenge is forgiveness. He then sold his original screenplay NOISE that was soon to be known as the Warner Bros. hit AUGUST RUSH about a musical prodigy's quest to find the parents he never knew. Paul Graduated #1 from the famed UCLA School of Film, Television, and Digital Media where he scored a three picture million dollar deal three weeks before graduation. Oscar winner Shirley MacLaine called Paul Castro one of the most talented screenwriters she's ever worked with.
