Award-winning new media artist and filmmaker Paul Bojack creates playful and provocative viewing experiences that are powerful vehicles for self-reflection. Deeply inquisitive, perceptive, and with a penchant for humanism, Bojack channels his passion into work that pushes the boundaries in both form and content. “A filmmaker who refuses to play it safe,” (Variety) Bojack creates worlds of intrigue through narrative film, and also with Yes You, his ongoing and evolving collection of participatory moving image art that places the viewer directly into the moving images, exploring aspects of modern identity alongside personal and societal association.
Bojack draws on his background in psychology to develop subject matter that’s important and probing, masterfully delivered in counterbalance with lighthearted interjections. An unexpected layer of sarcasm pervades his work, imbuing a sense of mischief and play as he shares new and unusual ways to explore beauty, anger, strangeness, sadness, love, fear, jealousy, hatred, mortality, and laughter. This levity perfectly counterbalances the gravitas often associated with emotional discourse and invites mass appeal for Bojack’s adventurous work.
Yes You is Bojack’s groundbreaking, ever-evolving, signature new media art project. “Innovatively composed and socially engaged… the project encapsulates the paradox of the modern shared experience.” (LA Weekly) Offered in chapters, Yes You received its initial premiere in 2021 with its second chapter releasing in June 2025. This kaleidoscopic assortment of vignettes approaches its subject matter from numerous angles, stimulating curiosity and subverting expectations with prismatic interest. The “Cageian” chance format inevitably takes the viewer on a wild and at times absurdist ride through heavy subject matter by way of images, moving typography, graphics, and music, but realized in Bojack’s wry style, the trip remains compelling throughout.
“With a career rooted in bold, thought-provoking storytelling,” (Digital ArtsBlog) Bojack’s three standout feature films include Reset (2015), a “daring” character study (Variety); Resilience (2006), lauded for its fractured narrative and raw, authentic portrayals; and Glass, Necktie (1997), which screened in Los Angeles, New York, and Dublin and earned Bojack acclaim as an artist well attuned to the intricacies of human nature. His short films have premiered in London, Los Angeles, and Toronto, and aired at film festivals worldwide, including WorldFest Houston, Cutting Edge Film Festival, Solaris Film Festival, Stories Film Festival, Two Roads International Film Festival, Marina Del Rey film Festival, Directors Circle Festival of Shorts, and the International Festival of Cinema and Technology World Tour. Don’t Call Me garnered the Gold Plaque at the Intercom International Film and Video Festival and was a finalist in the Nashville Independent Film Festival.
