Paul's film Power Trip was broadcast on PBS's Independent Lens during the season that was hosted by Susan Sarandon: 

"Power Trip had a remarkable run—critical acclaim, awards, festivals, and broadcasts around the world. A great ride, culminating in this intro from Susan Sarandon on PBS's Independent Lens. 

Perhaps more importantly, Power Trip had a tangible impact on the energy industry worldwide. Special screenings at the World Bank, the U.S. State Department, Council on Foreign Relations and other institutions influenced international energy policy. A friend who happened to work at Google, and was involved with electricity development in Africa, once told me that CEO Larry Page handed him a copy of Power Trip and encouraged him to watch it to help with his research. 

Validation for all that hard work is important and keeps filmmakers going! Our movies can have profound impact even though we may never become aware of it."
