Philosophy:
Patty is a documentarian specializing in community and spirit. She wants always to remember that the greatest joy she get is when she sees others being touched by her work. "When they laugh at what I thought was funny, when they gasp at a shot that I thought was cool or when they are brought to tears by the images and music. Expressing a moment through video is what I have found awakens my soul. I am so grateful to have found my bliss."
