Paula Chowles

Paula Chowles is an executive producer, director, and founder of Never Not Productions, where she leads a multidisciplinary team of filmmakers, video journalists, and motion designers who bring rigor, agility, and craft to every film project they produce.

Her career began in a fast-paced newsroom in South Africa, where she worked as an award-winning broadcast journalist covering politics, social justice, and breaking news. It was there she learned to move quickly, think critically, and never lose sight of the human story — instincts she sharpened further while producing editorial video at WIRED and AJ+.

While leading creative production at GDP, Paula worked across documentaries, editorial content, and brand storytelling, spearheading projects for Netflix, Nike, IBM, Sony, and more. Her work for Abstract: The Art of Design received an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Main Title Design (2019); and her three-part documentary series for Sony AI was an Official Selection of Tribeca X 2023.

Now at the helm of Never Not, she’s never not making. Never not creating. Never not chasing the next great story.
