Paul Scanlan is a San Diego-based filmmaker and retired 25-year U.S. Navy Aviation Maintenance Officer. He brings an uncommon operational discipline to every production — the kind that comes from leading 500-person departments and 38-aircraft fleets across Pacific deployments. At SDSU, he's made the Dean's List every semester while building one of the most prolific producing records in the program. Founding producer of Big Gringo Productions.
