About Paula

Paula Fournier, Owner and Operator of iHeart Production, LLC, is a graduate of Madonna University, earning her Bachelor’s of Science Degree. While a student, a producer of the television show Movie Show Plus approached her and asked her to Co-Host the popular show. Paula realized that working in media was the right fit for her. Paula enjoys her work at the Emmy Award Winning Television Show and served not only as a Co-Host, but also a producer and editor to the show.

Paula’s true love is the film industry. It started with her first short film, Feeding the Soul, (2010) where she wrote, produced and starred in her first role. The film won the prestigious “Christopher Coppola’s Filmmaker’s Challenge Award”.

Realizing that film was her true passion, Paula then worked as a Production Coordinator in the sports comedy, Tetherball (2010). She followed that up with the period piece, set in 1910, Mary’s Buttons (2011) Paula was responsible for hiring, managing and choreographing over 200 extras as well as handling her other job duties as Production Coordinator.

Paula has also added Assistant Director to her credits for the music videos, The Realest Sport, by TP & Esco, I Love You Denard, Local Celebrity, both by Pat Stansik, Positive Decisions by Pat Stansik and Dan Henig, and the feature film, A Dog for Christmas (2012), starring Dean Cain, Richard Karn and Dustin Diamond. Paula served as Location Manager and Associate Producer for the film, Sand Castles: A Story of Family and Tragedy, on location in Goshen, IN. Paula has just finished Producing the feature film, Holiday Miracle, starring Dean Cain and Christine Lakin. Paula plans to produce three features in 2014.

Reality Television is just one of the new things that Paula, Owner and Operator of iHeart Production, LLC will be doing in the near future.
