About Patty
I am a former journalist who now writes screenplays in San Antonio, Texas. I have co-organized a monthly, local screenwriters' group, the San Antonio Screenwriters Guild, SASWG.org, since 2011. I've written a drama/thriller, a true-life period feature, a work-in-progress western based on a true story, and have co-written a comedy feature. I have written several narrative shorts, two stageplays (one of which was produced locally), and directed and produced two short films, both of which were screened at the San Antonio Film Festival. I have written a dark/thriller TV pilot and bible as well as a eight-episode web series. I have also been a reader for the Austin Film Festival for four years.
* Austin Film Festival, Second Round winner, 2019, LOTERIA LAND (web series)
*Austin Film Festival, Second Round winner, 2013, FIESTA LATINA
*PAGE International Quarterfinalist, 2012, THE LAST POPE
*National Association of Latino Independent Producers screenwriting fellow, 2009
Unique traits: I am a very strong editor due to my experience as a print journalist. Also, my master's degree in digital journalism from Syracuse University helps me understand how stories and filmmaking promotional aspects can be enhanced by technology. I am a natural storyteller and believe that the purpose of writers is to tell the Truth - through fictional worlds - at a time when we all seem to be losing our humanity.
