Driven by a love of story and the belief that it’s better to share expertise than hoard it, Patrick is the founder (and fearless leader) of Muse Storytelling and Story First. He’s been known to go the extra, extra mile to create something remarkable, even if that means hanging onto the hood of a moving jeep to get that perfect b-roll, or hosting an online masterclass at midnight while on production halfway across the globe.
