Manage episode 501185704 series 3652420
In this episode, I sit down with Patrick Guera — better known online as Director Patrick from TikTok — to dive into his incredible and unlikely journey into filmmaking. From growing up as a lower-class kid in San Diego to practically stumbling into the role of a movie director by coincidence, Patrick’s story is as real and inspiring as it gets.
We talk about how his online presence first took shape on Twitter (now X), and how that eventually blossomed into a vibrant community on TikTok where his blend of honesty, humor, and passion for movies has struck a chord with thousands of fans. (And no, don’t confuse him with Producer Patrick — this is Director Patrick we’re talking about!)
Patrick also shares insights on his short film The Path, which is screening this week at the Cabin in the Woods Film Festival online, August 18th–24th. Later in the episode, we switch gears and dig into a movie review of Patrick’s pick — the 1970 Charles Bronson thriller Cold Sweat, streaming now on Mometu. And trust me, you don’t want to miss our spoiler-free hot takes on this one.
Whether you’re a filmmaker, a fan of indie cinema, or just love hearing the behind-the-scenes stories of creators carving out their own path, this episode delivers the perfect mix of inspiration, laughs, and movie talk.
