Paul Middleditch is regarded as one of the top performance TV Commercial Directors in the world. He is Australia’s most-awarded commercial director with over 300 awards to his name, including 8 Cannes Lions - 4 of which are gold - and numerous other international and national awards. Having directed commercials for Carlton Draught, Budweiser, Pepsi, Optus and New Zealand Lotteries to name a few, Paul’s madcap humor and full-on energy have made him far and away one of the most successful commercial directors to come out of Australia and New Zealand. His ‘Happy Passports’ campaign for Tourism Fiji has been awarded Silver in the Destination International category at the International Tourism Film Festival Africa (ITFFA) 2025. Paul’s most recent feature film ‘UPROAR,’ starring Julian Dennison, Minnie Driver, and Rhys Darby, premiered at the 2023 Toronto International Film Festival to critical acclaim. He works internationally between Australia, the US, the UK, Europe and Asia.
