STUART ST PAUL

Stuart St. Paul’s exceptional directorial talent earned him a nomination for Best Director at the prestigious Cabourg Romantic Film Festival (France) and the Verona Shermi D’Amour (Italy). He went on to win Best Director in the USA, secure a Silver Palm at Mexico’s MIFF, and receive over 20 international awards—from Mumbai to Canada. His expertise was further recognised by Pierre-Henri Deleau, longtime director of Cannes’ Directors’ Fortnight, who handpicked him as the UK film representative and jury member for the Millennial European Film Awards in Stuttgart.

Originally trained by the BBC, Stuart built a remarkable career as a stuntman and action director, choreographing fight sequences for Jean-Claude Van Damme and even performing as The Queen Alien in James Cameron’s Aliens. His work spans both high-octane action and critically acclaimed cinema, collaborating with legendary filmmakers such as Merchant Ivory and Ken Russell.

Now an accomplished author, he has turned his storytelling skills to cruise crime fiction, penning the gripping nine-book CSCI series. The first instalment, Cruise Ship Heist, has repeatedly topped multiple Amazon charts, cementing his success in the literary world.

Beyond filmmaking and writing, Stuart captivates audiences with his engaging and humorous lectures, offering a behind-the-scenes look at the real movie industry. From navigating legal and insurance challenges while orchestrating controlled chaos on set to working alongside major sports stars, actors, and celebrities in war zones and cyclones, his stories bring the thrilling and unpredictable world of filmmaking to life.

It is difficult not to have seen more than just a little of Celebrity Stuntman and Award-Winning Movie Director Stuart St Paul‘s work. His shows are regularly on all the majors from HBO, Netflix, and Prime, to broadcasters like the BBC and ITV and now his own YouTube Channel Doris Visits with nearly 3 million views.

He lives with his wife of over 40 years, actress Jean Heard, in North London, and they are parents to business entrepreneur Luke Aikman and actress Laura Aikman who has recently played Dyan Cannon.

Stuart now writes the cruise crime series, CSCI. He was already an award winning screenplay writer. He helped rewrite many films and shows and has had some of his own films and screenplays made. Previous TV series he has penned have been optioned into the broadcasting network, and been near misses like Smith and Patel optioned by the BBC under Peter Cregeen, but CSCI looks to be a future series to sail onto the screen.

CSCI has many official 5 star reviews, many fans amongst the millions of cruisers, and Cruise Ship Heist has topped a few Amazon charts on numerous occasions.

The best way to purchase the series is in the first box set of six novels. The combined price is a deal that any of the other deals together cannot match and it includes bonus scenes and the first TV episode draft.

Stuart started to write the first book as therapy and to keep in touch with the industry while awaiting brain surgery after being blown up on a film set in Hungary. He was standing by a camera 25 meters away from the action.
