- Patrick Shanahan is a writer-director, though he began his creative career as a painter. Maintaining a painterly approach, Shanahan's work holds distinct directorial vision. His work over the last decade with Denim Buffalo Films, though highly experimental, prepared him for his latest feature film; The Fox Hunter (2019). Shanahan has written the screenplay for the upcoming feature, Clear Lake (2019), which is a new take on the life and times of Buddy Holly and his rock 'n' roll contemporaries in the late 1950s.- IMDb Mini Biography By: Blair Houtz
- In a world of conformists, the greatest existence is your own.
- "I want to bring filmmaking back to North Carolina someday," Shanahan said. "But at this time in my career, it's either fight politicians or inspire audiences. I chose the latter." (David Menconi, News & Observer, Raleigh, NC)
