Cinco Paul and Ken Daurio are American screenwriters. They are mostly known for writing screenplays for animated films, including Dr. Seuss' Horton Hears a Who!, Despicable Me, Dr. Seuss' The Lorax, and Despicable Me 2.Paul was named after Cinco de Mayo, a celebration held on his birthday. After graduating from Yale University, he won a short film competition and received a fellowship at the USC School of Cinematic Arts, where he graduated in 1993 from a screenwriting program.Daurio started making films with a Super 8 camera at age 9. After high school, he began directing music videos and directed more than 100 videos.Paul and Daurio have been collaborating since 1999. They have met when Paul wrote a musical for the The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints' 150-year celebration of the pioneers arrival in Utah, where Daurio had one of the leads. Hitting it off, having similar sense of humor, they have formed a band, playing at the local outdoor malls. Within a year they sold their first script, and a year later, their second script was made into film. To get noticed, they used to sing story pitches to film producers. Although not always successful, this strategy resulted in several produced films, including Bubble Boy (2001) and College Road Trip (2008). They were personally chosen by Audrey Geisel, the widow of Dr. Seuss, to write an animated feature film adaptation of Horton Hears a Who! for 20th Century Fox Animation, led by Chris Meledandri. In 2007, when Meledandri founded a film production company named Illumination Entertainment, Paul and Daurio followed him. At Illumination, they wrote screenplays for a highly-successful film Despicable Me, and its sequel, Despicable Me 2. They also wrote a screenplay for an Easter Bunny film, Hop, and adapted another Dr. Seuss' book, The Lorax.Although Paul and Daurio are screenwriting partners, they prefer to work independently. They divide up scenes, and read pages to each other, trying to make each other laugh. Cinco, having an education in screenwriting, generally works on scenes that contain emotion and requires the three-act structure. While Daurio, being more visually oriented person, usually does scenes with an action, sight gags and physical comedy. Both being members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, their beliefs had significant impact on their careers. They prefer "to write movies that are uplifting, optimistic and for everybody," while avoiding to be "preachy."
