Postition: Writer and Webmaster

Background: Patrick started making videos in the 8th grade for Mrs. Harrington's English class at Las Colinas School. The title of his first video was "JJAP" and was a satirical view of the industrial revolution. Joey Liao, Jonathan Cohen, and Alex Nowrasteh were his partners in this production. During the summer between junior high and high school, Patrick, with the help of Jeff Orr, Alex Nowrasteh, Jon Kruse, Martin Broder, and Chris Kuhlman, produced a Public Service Announcement denouncing the evils of drugs and alcohol entitled "Party of Jive." In his freshman year of high school, he had a small role in the background of "Flying Death Ninjas... of Death" the first and only Kupla Klap Production, written and directed by Alex Nowrasteh. The following year he was blessed with a larger role in the little-known sequel "Flying Death Soldiers... of Death," written and directed by Jeremiah Benson, which met with mixed reviews. Scripting was begun to the third and final part of the series "Flying Death Robots... of Death," but interest was lost and production never began. In his junior year in high school, with the help of Min Park and Martin Broder, Patrick founded Pathetic Productions. Under this new title Patrick, Min and Martin realeased such widely-applauded hits as "Sponformorous II: Revenge of the Pharaoh" (an attempt, some might say a failed one, at defining the abstract nouns humor, conformity, and spontaneity), "Wilkins-Price Campaign HQ" (a modern day parody of Huckleberry Finn), and "The Great Gatsby" (a modern day parody of the novel of the same name). That summer, Patrick attended a technology program with Martin Broder and Jeff Orr where they wrote, shot, and edited the fourth and final Pathetic Production "Stop: The Movie." For the next year and a half, Patrick's filming experience lay dormant until the founding of this website. He is currently majoring in film production at California State University Northridge.
