Paul is a competitor in the world's largest movie trivia league, The Movie Trivia Schmoedown, and runs The Movie Guys (.net), focusing on movies & comedy, and is especially suited to hosting and moderating Q&As at film events
Paul did my mother in laws 80th. It was the perfect entertainment for a multi age group. Everyone loved it
Response from The Movie Guys with Paul Preston:
80, but NO JOKE when it comes to trivia! Thanks for the kind words, I had a good time.
This was my first time using gigsalad to find an entertainer and I didn't know what to expect. Paul was FABULOUS! He worked with our budget, adjusted his TV trivia game to fit the age group of our team, and made the night so memorable. He has a bright personality and my team members absolutely loved him. I would rate him higher than 5 Stars.
Response from The Movie Guys with Paul Preston:
What a great night! I mean, settling the tied-up trivia game with a dance off was just awesome. Thanks for bringing me aboard!

Had The Movie Guys with Paul host our City Trivia Night and everyone had such a blast! He was so easy to work with and communication was smooth! We are looking forward to having you back next year!
Response from The Movie Guys with Paul Preston:
Thanks and I'd totally come back! I don't know other cities that do this, what an epic night of friendly, playful, YET VIGOROUS trivia competition.
I USED THE MOVIE GUYS AS A PARTY GAME SHOW HOST. IT WAS A GOOD HIRE. LOTS OF ENERGY AND PLEASANT TO WORK WITH.
He was responsive and helpful in creating a custom game show for my friend's 50th birthday
We booked Paul for a 15 person family event, he was the BEST! Very professional, awesome voice, kept the game prompt. The best experience
Paul did movie trivia for our office holiday party and it was a huge hit! He does a fantastic job of getting the crowd into it and creating healthy competition among the groups. From a logistics perspective, he was wonderful to work with and took initiative in reaching out the venue directly to make sure set-up was handled seamlessly.

In a night of Movie Guys trivia, the game breaks down like this:
Round 1 - 15 questions
Round 2 - Visual or game round
Round 3 - Audible round
Round 4 - 15 questions
Within this structure - anything goes! I can do general movie trivia, I can make it specific to a genre, actor, time period - literally ANYTHING goes.
The show usually runs from ninety minutes to two hours and even that is customizable.
I can further customize the game, weaving in trivia about companies in the spotlight and/or guests of honor and prizes can be determined based on the theme/topic/client of the event.
With events close to L.A. where I can travel by car, I can bring my own audio setup with mics, speakers and a laptop (to run the audio portions of the games).
Call me. Let's get weird.
