Photo of Paul Miles Schneider.Paul Miles Schneider‘s love of film began at an early age. You might say it’s in his blood. Born in New York City and raised in Lawrence, Kansas, Paul’s mother Jo Anna March Clift was an actress, appearing on Broadway (Miss Lonelyhearts, Something About a Soldier), TV (I Remember Mama, Omnibus), radio (The Second Mrs. Burton) and film (Burglar, Girl of the Night). Jo Anna’s second husband was Brooks Clift, brother of film star Montgomery Clift. Paul’s father Leonard Schneider was an actor (Jamboree, Red Ball Express), a director and screenwriter of educational films (Centron Corporation), a still photographer (LIFE Magazine) and a cameraman (The Patty Duke Show, How to Murder Your Wife). Paul’s grandfather Samuel Schneider was executive vice president and treasurer on the board of directors of Warner Bros. He was with the famed studio from its beginning through the mid-1950s. As a child, Paul appeared in many of his father’s educational films, which were distributed nationwide in the early ’70s. At various times throughout his life, he has been an actor, writer, composer, singer, and arranger. In 2010, Paul relocated to his hometown of Lawrence, Kansas, from Los Angeles, where he spent a decade producing and designing DVD/Blu-ray menus and interactive content for Hollywood films and television shows. Paul worked on everything from the original Star Wars films to Harry Potter to Buffy the Vampire Slayer for their home entertainment releases. His first novel Silver Shoes was selected as a 2010 Kansas Notable Book by the Kansas Center for the Book and the State Library of Kansas. Two sequels have followed, The Powder of Life, released in 2012, and The Magic Belt, released in 2018. Another book, More Than Tongue Can Tell, co-authored with Warner Bros. film star Andrea King, was published in 2014.
