Patrick Smith, Director and Producer

Patrick SmithAfter earning a dual degree in business and communication, Patrick Smith dove into freelance commercial work with companies ranging from the Environmental Protection Agency to the Nagasaki Department of Tourism and a variety of oddities in between.

Though he is currently earning his MFA in film and video production at the University of Texas at Austin, he attributes most of his growth as a filmmaker to experimentation outside of academia, having lived studied, and worked in New Zealand, Egypt, Fiji, the Dominican Republic, and Japan, continuously assimilating foreign styles into his own personal methodology.

His goal is to make films that resonate deeply in people, be it visually or contextually.

He also loves dinosaurs, sweeping film scores, and Honey Bunches of Oats.
