Hi, Sheffield! My name is Pat and I'm a proud alum of Sheffield's VideoWorks program. I could not be more thankful for the training and opportunities that Sheffield has given me. It was the perfect stepping stone I needed to launch my career in the right direction.

Since graduating, I have become Production Manager and Co-Owner of CineMavericks Media, LLC, along with my business partner, Brad Wallace. We specialize in video production services ranging anywhere from wedding videography, music videos, webisodes, broadcast quality advertisements, short films and documentaries, as well as event productions, photography and graphic design.

Thanks to Sheffield, I recently took part in the Fox 45 Baltimore "No Text Zone" PSA contest, with actress Amanda Kearns. Our ad won and will air on Fox 45 for the next year.

In addition, my company has produced various short films, including "somebodies," "They'll Never Get Me," "Street View," "Elkton's Undead," "The Belittled," and we are currently producing our next film entitled "Drop Point Compromised," for which I also wrote the screenplay.

We have done work with many Delaware/Maryland-based companies including: Seasons Pizza, Spark Magazine, Out & About Magazine, Pro Kitchen Gear, and MUNItech. We produced and filmed a two hour fundraising telethon for The Christina Cultural Arts Center (Wilmington, DE) which aired on Delaware Channel 28. We have also produced music videos for local bands: Beelzefuzz, Splashing Pearls, Rubber Skunk, My Friends, FelixHunger and Revolution, I Love You. We're also taking part in a music video contest for mutli-platinum and Grammy Nominated rock band Primus.

Sheffield is a HUGE part of what I am and why I have gotten as far as I have. I will be a proud graduate for the rest of my career. It's been an amazing ride so far, and it's only just begun!

Pat.
