Paul Kurti was born in a family of actors and intellectuals. Creativity and exploration were always rooted deep in him and his views and approach to the world. He spent the early part of his life reading, writing and drawing. However, it wasn’t until university that he discovered his love for film and the desire to use it as a way of expressing himself. This was followed by studies in filmmaking and directing various short films in cities like New York and Toronto. His work often explores the human mind, individuality, connections and the passage of time.
Paul Kurti and Saman Deilamani met while studying architecture at Ryerson University in Toronto. The many hours they spent discussing films showed a similar passion for cinema and the desire to create something meaningful. It was only natural that "Change" presents a film that, although experimental, follows many themes that they both feel passionate about. The experience brought a greater understanding of their strengths and creative potential that continues leading them to their future collaborations.
