"Patrick Horton will get you to the best story you can tell!  

For film students and industry professionals alike, he is uncannily able to cut through all the confusions and obstacles that plague the rest of us struggling to tell stories in film. 

I have seen him work with people immobilized by projects for months and years and set them on track within minutes. The epiphanies are brought about with humor, gentleness, and ease. 

All the technical expertise in the world is for naught, without the basis of a good story, powerfully told. And in this business, you are not only selling your story, you are always selling yourself. Patrick Horton gives you the tools to do all this in a way that is original, fun and inspiring."
