Managing Editor

 

Paul Corupe

Paul Corupe watches far too many films, typically very bad ones. This obsession led him to create Canuxploitation.com in 1999 after finding little published coverage of offbeat Canadian films. He regularly writes about genre film and Canadian cinema in publications including Rue Morgue magazine and Take One: Film and Television in Canada. He has appeared in several documentaries about Canadian film and scripted episodes of Bravo's On Screen! television series. His personal site can be found here.
