TV SAMPLE – “CURTAIN CALL”
A struggling magician haunted by her very real ghosts must choose between the dream that kept her alive and the job offer that could save her, and the world, from an early grave. One-hour drama. Written with Kevin Fox.
Patrick Regan is a teller of dark tales whispered between heartbeats and silver screen stories that follow you home. He grew up in New Orleans with head full of ghosts and a soul full of nightmares to scientist parents who emphasized the importance of rational thought, scientific experiment, and technological skepticism. Despite their best efforts, he took the darkness of his hometown into him, enraptured by stories on the silver screen that were probably a little bit too old for him.
He followed the celluloid dreams to Los Angeles with designs on writing and producing. Quickly realizing he had little patience to deal with the foolish chaos often required in the assistant track, he pivoted to marketing and copywriting. There he made a reputation for himself as a creative, research-driven professional, launching campaigns on products as diverse as mouthwash, entertainment payroll platforms, and cutting-edge AI educational tools.
Unfortunately, this success meant he spent a lot of time in the tech industry, where he witnessed even more foolish, pointless chaos and ego-driven destruction.
His work focuses on the the secret worlds that lurk under the skin of our reality, and how confronting that which terrifies us reveals what makes us truly human. It has placed in the Austin Film Festival and been featured on the Seminar podcast.
