About the Director
Growing up near Shanghai, China, Patrick believed that he would become an astronaut or a scientist. However, after his dad took him to the movie theater, he fell in love with filmmaking instead. Soon, he realized that directors were pampered, spoiled brats who get everything they want. So he made it his life's mission to become one.
