Bill Pace’s Summary
Currently I am writing my latest original screenplay, MANHATTAN VALLEY, a coming of age comedy to be independently produced.
I have written 4 independent feature films, all of which have received domestic and international distribution and several episodes of various syndicated TV series.
I've produced three independent feature films and directed one of those, CHARMING BILLY.
My short film, "A Relaxing Day" was written by Pulitzer Prize-nominated playwright Theresa Rebeck. It played festivals both here in the U.S. and internationally, and won several awards. A trailer for it can be seen on YouTube at:

William directed a series of videos for the legendary singer Tony Bennett's arts foundation, Exploring The Arts, including a shoot with Mr. Bennett at the iconic Guggenheim Museum. The video premiered at a sold-out Tony Bennett show at Radio City Music Hall.
I also occasionally return to my theatrical roots and recently directed the original musical SOUTH, a work commissioned by noted innovative NYC theater Dixon Place.
