Whenever I have any questions regarding the rules and requirements regarding SAG - AFTRA Pat is my go to person, she always has the right answers and gets back to me immediately. When I know Pat is working onset I am at ease as are actors reps knowing that the talent will be taken care of because Pat goes above and beyond to see that all is happy, comfortable and respected.Donna McKenna CSA
Pat Patterson has been a joy to work with the past few years. She was literally a godsend for our TV pilot Eltingville as line producer! She kept us on budget and was extremely hands on during the whole shoot, making sure everything went smoothly from wrangling the talent, to setting up catering. She went above and beyond. I never worried when Pat was on set! She has also been extremely supportive of our new film project, helping put together a top sheet for our budget and participating in our cast table reads. She is multi-talented and anyone would be lucky to have her work on their project! Her wicked sense of humor is just a bonus. :-)Alicia Minshew Producer
Our company Woodward City Production, produces 5 successful streaming and Long Island Cablevision shows. Our latest project, a feature, Ebenezer The Traveler required Pat's expertise as a SAG liaison to upgrade the project for distribution. Jerry Parisi, Managing Partner
“Pat Patterson was an absolute star on our short film ‘Grace’. From managing the budget and contracts to keeping our schedule on track, she handled everything with impressive skill and a personal touch. Her ability to anticipate our challenges and tackle them with a positive attitude made a huge difference. Pat’s dedication and expertise not only kept the project running smoothly but also made the entire process enjoyable. I can’t recommend her enough for anyone looking for a top-notch line producer!”ALEXANDRA GREY, PRODUCER, WRITER, DIRECTOR

JIM POWERS-CINEMATOGRAPHER
Pat is a very caring, professional and efficient line producer, who puts her whole self into the production. Very hard working, personable, approachable and an absolute JOY to be around.
NICHOLAS TAYLOR-HMU
The Zombie Wedding was my first feature film, and having Pat there with all her film experience made my experience so much better. She was there whenever i needed anything and was also there to tell me what I was doing wrong which is what I needed to become better and more educated. We were both working early mornings and late nights and you can tell she puts her all into her work and will go so out of her way to get the job done. So professional and definitely someone I mentor in this industry. I can’t wait to work with her and see that beautiful smile again!
KRISTEN LUSK-OFFICE PA Pat is an incredible boss and line producer. She comes with an invaluable expertise in the industry. While working with Pat she struck a balance between providing support while letting me function on my own in order to be successful. Pat operates without an ego and will do whatever is needed to get job done. I would work with Pat again in a heartbeat.
FLANNERY SPRING ROBINSON-SECOND A.D.
I have had the opportunity to work with Pat on multiple occasions with her as Line Producer. I've worked with many Line Producers, but I've never felt such support in production as I do with Pat as LP. Her knowledge is never-ending, and her ability to create and work with a budget is impressive. She is a wizard when it comes to tax credits, and her history in accounting and legal office has enabled her to speak fluent in contracts. She has a way of working with both ATL and BTL so they understand the boundaries in which they have to work, and is able to troubleshoot with them to come up with solutions if certain options do not come through. Pat is hands on, and I've never been in a project with her where we felt there was a sudden lack of communication from the LP. I'd work with Pat again in an instant.
MEGHAN CHOU-PRODUCTION DESIGNER
Pat was a fantastic and very communicative Line producer on Great Kills. She set the production up for success and provided invaluable support on and off set (even her sock to dress a dead body!). From beginning to end, I felt I was in very capable hands.
