After stints at TBWA as a copywriter devising and overseeing the production of commercials Pat moved into directing at leading production companies Blink, Outsider, Independent and Stark Films.

Several well received short films later Pat made his first foray into features with the 2005 Gold Circle comedy: Long Weekend starring Chris Klein and produced by Paul Brooks.

Pat’s next feature was gritty urban post-punk drama Awaydays.

Pat’s latest, and first feature as writer and director, is the 70’s- set horror: When the Lights Went Out.
