PAUL ZAPATA
Paul Zapata was born in New York and raised half his life in Brooklyn/Manhattan, half in Jersey. After he received his Bachelor’s in Film Production from the School of Visual Arts, he became a press photographer working under the banner of Amsterdam News. A journalist and entrepreneur working for the paper, a woman named Lapacazo Sandoval, helped him realize a great idea, that he could use his credentials as press to walk through walls and into events such as Tribeca Film Festival and network. His father is a retired NYPD Lieutenant and it is his goal to join either the NYPD or San Francisco PD to work in their movie and TV department.
