Meet the Muse Storytelling team
We’re more than filmmakers. We’re remarkably intentional. We care more than most. We’re into shifting paradigms. We’re always pushing to break new ground and take our game to the next level. As experts into science of storytelling, we’re excited to share our courses with you!
Hi, I'm Patrick, Muse's Founder and Chief Creative.
If you’re anything like me, you didn’t become a filmmaker so you could run a business.
If you’re anything like me, you didn’t become a filmmaker so you could run a business.
But the truth is, I don’t like thinking about how we used to run Muse.
And sometimes things got really hard.
I’ve had to skip paying myself. I’ve felt sick to my stomach, not knowing how I was going to pay everyone else. And, I’ve stayed awake at night worrying about how I was going to make a sale.
It sucked.
But, over the last several years, I learned that it doesn’t have to be that way. And I want to share what I've learned, and what’s worked for us, in our second flagship course—Profitable Filmmaking.
Meet the Partners behind
Muse Storytelling
PATRICK MOREAU
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.

CAITLIN MIRANDA
As the Queen of all things production, she keeps the Muse team prepared and on track (and averts lost-luggage disasters with her amazing wardrobe closet).
GRANT PEELLE
A master of the conversational interview, he blows our minds at Story First on a regular basis with his ability to bring a new level of clarity to the storytelling process. (What do filmmakers and a 98-lb. granny in stiletto heels have in common? Ask Grant and hold onto your hat.)

Frequently Asked Questions
Who is Muse Storytelling, and who is Patrick?
Thanks for asking!
Muse Storytelling is a film production and story education company founded by Patrick Moreau. We’ve worked with some of the top brands in the world, like the NFL and Four Seasons, to deliver story-focused, impactful films.
We're a little embarrassed by this, but want a peek at our ‘trophy wall’?
Patrick has won five Emmys, shot in over 70 countries, led commercial projects upwards of $500k, and directed three full-length feature films, with another on the way.
On the education side, Muse has led hundreds of workshops on storytelling and filmmaking for groups like the United Nations and SXSW, as well as on the TEDx stage. Thousands of filmmakers have gone through our storytelling training and we’ve been overwhelmed by their response.
We don't say all of this to brag, but to show that we’ve spent a long time learning the craft of filmmaking and telling stories all over the world.
And that our experiences have led us to being here today with you.
Are these courses only relevant to filmmakers? How about photographers, writers, and other creative thinkers?
We are filmmakers and have built our courses for filmmakers. However, all the concepts, systems management, and structures could easily be adapted for any creative professional who works with clients.
What if I don’t have a business yet? What if I’m thinking about creating one?
We have the course for you!
Whether you are a business owner just starting or someone with a filmmaking business, our courses will help you build your business on a solid foundation. Skip the stages of overwhelm and stress, and learn from our years of experience.
For most business owners starting off, there are a couple of key things they don’t know how to do:
● How to find great clients
● How to manage those clients once they have them
● How to run their business and feel legit
We've got you covered in the Profitable Filmmaking course, and you can learn the science behind engaging storytelling in our Science of Storytelling course!
