• Paul Wightman

    I’m at my happiest listening to live music, whether that’s at a sticky-floor grassroots venue, a community centre, or a greenfield festival like Glastonbury.

    I’m a passionate believer in the power of community changing the world for the better, particularly where young people take the lead & challenge the status-quo.

    Day-to-day, I’m a communication/ brand strategist & commercial filmmaker, best known for my work with sports brands like Red Bull, Adidas & FIFA, but I’ve also made pro-bono films for the likes of Greenpeace & the Didcot Powerhouse deprivation fund, as well as music videos for the likes of Sinéad O’Connor, Philip Selway & local artists such as The Epstein.

    Extra-curricular activities include: Co-running Sofar Sounds Oxford, founding Oxford creatives meetup HubNub, guest lecturer at SAE Institute & City of Oxford College, community broadband champion, committee member at media club Soho Farmhouse, & mentor for Creative Mentor Network, which aims to improve representation in the creative industries for underrepresented socio-economic groups.

    I’m currently learning to DJ very badly (mainly breakbeat, jungle & DnB) but loving every second.
