Biography
Paul Maslak graduated from the University of Maryland with a BS degree in Business Administration. While concurrently working for Disney as a project planner on EPCOT and Tokyo Disneyland, he took a job as editor of INSIDE KUNG-FU magazine. In this latter capacity, he was invited to work as casting director on the martial arts film, "No Retreat, No Surrender," for which he helpled "discover" Jean-Claude Van Damme and Cynthia Rothrock. Afterwards, he pursued a two-track career for many years, working as a master scheduler and production control supervisor in corporate America by day, and free-lancing as a story analyst for HBO and Tri-Star Pictures by night. Eventually, he quit his corporate job, at first managing martial arts actors, but then taking jobs in hands-on film production. He worked his way up through the ranks of many low-budget films to become a full producer. In 1993, he formed a partnership to produce independent features, and in 1996, he began directing with the film "Sworn to Justice."
