Eric Patton is a writer-director-producer-cinephile from Denver, Colorado. Growing up obsessed with movies, that obsession led him to an MFA in Directing at Chapman University. Eric is most attracted to material that oscillates between comedy and tragedy, much like real life.

He has worked across all areas of production, including Post Production on Amazon's Mozart in the Jungle, FX's Snowfall, and Mercy Street at Scott Free. All the while, he continued to write, direct, and produce, including the award-winning short comedies Kosher Pig and Loaf of Bread. His feature comedy script Mildred's Cherokee reached the top 20% in the Nicholl Fellowship, and his one-hour dramatic pilot Saint-Michel is a finalist in the ScreenCraft TV Pilot Competition.

He also has two kids, Boston and Rhys, who were given a thorough film education starting at a young age. He was particularly pleased when his daughter told her class that the best Macbeth is Throne of Blood.
