Patriot Branded Entertainment

Greetings Patriot Pictures,

Working with the Patriot team to develop my screenplays (The Coolest Labels, The Estranged Rose, Audacity, Blackout in Texas) has been a rewarding professional experience. I follow Patriot's social feeds and periodically check your company website to learn more about what Patriot has in the works. Last week, I was excited to see "Branded Entertainment" in your navigation bar and became very intrigued as I perused the new division's story leading up to the roster of impeccable directing talent in the Patriot family. I am curious to learn more about this new direction with a hopeful eye on yet another rewarding avenue for our collaboration.

I created this page just for you to preview samples of my work as a brand storyteller, something I've worked as professionally and passionately for the previous 18+ years. If anything on this page (or site, which features my books and writing) is of interest, I'd LOVE to continue the conversation and potentially discover ways that my ideas and stories can help Patriot find success in this exciting, new endeavor!

-Fred
