About Me

I'm Patrick! AND I'VE GONE TO FACEBOOK SO THERE. At present I'm a filmmaking MA student at the London Film School. This means that in a few years I might be a successful film director or a mediocre clapper-loader, one or the other. I'm currently trying to figure out ways of making my photo on my profile bigger/getting more of myfriends on myspace - even though this whole thing is a bit shite and pointless because the main reason people go on it is so they can stare at their own profiles and imagine what other people must think when they look at their carefully worded 'about me' section and their painstakingly selected photos. Probably. Umm, nothing more to add right now, so look at my pretty pictures and then just go away. Leave. And by the way, I don't feel the pictures I have of me in my little Patrick Graham shrine on my profile really look anything like me. I'm just not very photogenic. At the moment I'm living in London, in a wonderful little place called Brent Cross. Brent Cross is often cited as one of the cultural centres of London. It has the famous 'shopping centre' and the spectacular 'north london circular' road that, quite frankly, shits all over other large roads. Other highlights in Brent Cross include 'brent cross tube station' which is particularly helpful when you need to catch the tube. And by the way, speaking of the tube, the Northern Line can fuck off and die, I hate it, it's shit, whoever organises it is an idiot. Soon I will have one of my little films from term 2 at film school on my profile. It was an exercise where we were given 5 minutes of 16mm colour stock and had to make a film with post-recorded sound (the limitations I had on the shoot is my excuse as to why it isn't as good as it could be and the sound is a bit rubbish).
Get this video and more at MySpace.comThis is my little film from the second term. Given only 200 feet of stock and no on-set recording equipment, so there was little margin for error. It's a bit silly really. But if it was made a hundred years ago it would be ground-breaking. If it's not working when you try to play it it's not my fault it's your computer and you should buy a new one.

Awesome job I think. ----------------------This is me doing some more camera operating, I intended to look like a bell-end in this picture, it didn't just happen by accident.---------------------

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

My doppelganger, naked, in a jacuzzi. And also, his doppelganger naked in the same jacuzzi. I really don't want to meet any more people who say they want to be directors or filmmakers, because it's just getting ridiculous now. There are far too many people in London who want to make films. Some of them know absolutely nothing about what that entails, but some of them are clearly way better than me...for now anyway.

Another classic film

I've just been to see the new film 'Silent Hill'. I found the title misleading because it was about flaming zombies and demons killing people and there was lots of screaming and blood, there were...
