Patrick Curran

Patrick is an actor, writer, director and producer from Newtown, CT who’s been working in independent film for over 15 years. He gravitates towards projects based on true stories and intimate, character-driven, social change pieces. A trademark of his work is using humor to cut through challenging, dark subject matter traditionally reserved for drama. He has a particular interest in stories that tackle issues surrounding dementia and Alzheimer’s disease, and likes to make heroes of characters at the end of their lives.

Patrick’s script ‘Golden and Gone’ won the 2015 Los Angeles Comedy Film Festival’s Best Screenplay Award and his script ‘Fragile’ won the Industry Insider’s Best Screenplay hosted by Sheldon Turner and the Writer’s Store. Patrick is also a Nicholl Fellowship Semifinalist (Top 50, 2016).

He makes his career as an actor in commercials.
