Andrei Paunov was born on February 23rd, 1974 in Sofia. He graduated in film directing at NATFA "Krystio Sarafov" in 2000. He has been a bartender in Prague, a cook in Washington DC, a gardener in Toronto, a boom operator in New York, and an accounting clerk in San Francisco. He has made a number of short films, including A Short Film about Yuri Gagarin (Kratki film za Yuri Gagarin, 1995), for which he received the Main Prize at the festival in Varna. He was hailed for his super-short film Lucy Tsak Tsak (2000) where, in 67 slates, he incorporated the 30-year endeavours of the film’s clapperboard heroine. His film Georgi and the Butterflies (Georgi i peperudite), screened at the Karlovy Vary IFF in 2005 in the Documentary Film Competition, came top at the IDFA festival in 2004 in the short documentary category.
