Patrick Knipe
Patrick Knipe grew up in Northwest New Jersey where heavily forested rolling hills, Revolutionary War Era hamlets, and fog-haunted lakes inspired his imagination into the realms of storytelling and filmmaking at an early age. After studying English, Irish, and American Literature at Boston College and Oxford University , Patrick took a cubicle job at a medical insurance company for a year and a half in order to save enough money to go to film school.
Patrick pursued his MFA in Film and TV Production at the USC School of Cinematic Arts. He was a recipient of the Mary Pickford Foundation Scholarship, and a 2008 finalist in the Coca-Cola Refreshing Filmmaker’s Award competition for the short film THE REPORT. He is a grant recipient from the Institute of Multimedia Literacy and has guest lectured on film re-recording mixing in the USC Graduate Film Program. He is the co-founder of Mythmakers, an entertainment development and production company currently based in Burbank, CA, where his mission is to entertain, delight, and bring stories to the flickering screen that captivate and move the soul.
