DIRECTING

Robert William Paul (3 October 1869 – 28 March 1943) was an English film pioneer and scientific instrument maker.
He began producing narrative films as early as April 1895, initially shown on Edison Kinetoscope-style devices, and by 1896 he was projecting them—around the same time the Lumière brothers were developing projected cinema in France.
