Originally from Austin, Texas, Paul Michael Merryman earned his undergraduate degree in Radio, Television, and Film from the University of Texas at Austin. During his studies he wrote and directed the short subject documentary APD: Downtown Discipline, a piece about police accountability. Merryman earned his MFA at the American Film Institute where his 35mm thesis film The Escape had a strong run on the festival circuit. Set in an English prison in 1792, the movie tells the story of a hangman’s assistant who tries to break his own son out of jail.
