Paul Alberto Sanchez is a Puerto Rican author, screenwriter, director and film producer. He was born and raised in Tucson, Arizona. He attended both Pueblo High and Cholla High School, where he first became interested in radio and television. His adopted father died when he was 16, so he moved to Saint George, Utah and finished his high school there. He graduated from Dixie High School in 1997 and attended Dixie State College until 1999. He became involved in the college radio program at the college, until it was closed in early 1999. He moved back to Tucson and began a career as a radio disc jockey at 96.1 KLPX until Summer 2002, when he moved to Salt Lake City, Utah. He took a job as a news editor for KSL-TV, while becoming the executive producer of "The Block," a local high school sports television show in 2004. He returned to radio in 2005 in Idaho Falls, Idaho at 105.5 "The Hawk". He left the radio business in July 2006, returning to his hometown of Tucson.
In November of 2008, Sanchez released his first book, "The Tao of Sanchez." [1]
His venture into movies came in 2008 as well, investing in a low-budget horror film called, "Craig." In April 2010, he finally got behind the camera in a writer/director capacity, on his short film "Pocho."
In January 2011, Sanchez received a green light to shoot his first full-length feature film, "The Diary Of Babineaux." Filming will take place in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, beginning in March 2012.
