Paul Moore is a co-founder of spout.com and in charge editorial content. As well as being a regular contributor to SpoutBlog, he hosts the weekly podcast, FilmCouch, nominated for a Webby Award in 2007, which continually seeks out groundbreaking films and interviews uncompromising filmmakers like Michel Gondry, Julian Schnabel, Werner Herzog and Paul Schrader. Paul orchestrated various partnerships with filmmakers like Joe Swanberg and Arin Crumley when Four Eyed Monsters was the first feature film launched on YouTube--a partnership cited across the film industry as one of the first tangible ways filmmakers have monetized the free showing of their work online. He lives in Grand Rapids, MI with his wife and two kids and reluctantly admits to seeing far more episodes of Dora The Explorer than Mad Men.
