BOOKS & FILMS

If you have enjoyed this site and would like to explore its creator’s world – or just check out some cool stuff – you’ve come to the right page.

Aside from penning hundreds of love letters, Paul Ransom works as an arts writer, creative consultant and film & video maker. Here below, links to some of his other content.

1: TWO – Award winning meta-romance. Paul’s 53 minute, indie/art film about a very post-modern boy/girl imbroglio – some of which was shot in his apartment.

2: LOVE KNOWS NO BOUNDS – TV doco series about cross-cultural marriages in Melbourne, Australia; particularly Chinese/Western relationships. Here below is the first of 18 short segs from the series (the other 17 are on the same You Tube channel, if you’re super keen).

3: JEJU ZAZEN – A 90 min slow film shot on the Korean island of Jeju in the northern spring of 2025. This is very much cinema verite; in other words, set up camera, push record. The result is a meditative journey exploring haphazdly selected lcoations across the island.

4: LANGUAGE OF LIGHT – 30 min TV doco about two men from different cultures united by one passion. With only their joint love of photography to bond them, one Chinese and one Australian spend a day in the river country looking for beauty.

6: In 2024 Paul premiered his YT channel Old Man Dancing Badly. The idea is to encourage all of us to dance and to enjoy the body in motion, rather than worrying about how we might look whilst executing such moves.

Paul is also a published author. His novel, The Last Summer of Hair was released via Truth Serum Press in March 2021. Check out sample paragraphs and buy your own copy in either papaerback or e-book form, by clicking here.

2: POLITICS & SOCIETY: Don’t Blame Me, I Voted …

Besides this blog, Paul maintains another: As If You Were Listening. Rather than love letters, this is where he shares op eds, think pieces and various personal reflections.
