Patrick Pierre began his writing career in high school as a poet performing in local poetry spots around the New York, New Jersey Area. His acumen for writing developed from poetry to short stories, then on to include writing plays. After graduating high school, he moved to Trenton, New Jersey and attended Mercer County Community College where he developed his craft as a screenwriter. At Mercer Patrick majored in Theater, honing his abilities in screenwriting and film production. Since then he’s completed five short films, three music videos, and two feature length films.

Originally from Haiti, when Patrick Pierre embarked on the American dream, his vision was solely focused on telling stories. The dream evolved into telling stories through film and in 2007 his success was finally on display for the world to see when “The City is Mine” was accepted into the American Black Film Festival and nominated for three awards. The film was immediately picked up and distributed through Netflix, Redbox, Amazon, Blockbuster, and number of other DVD rental retailers. The success of The City is Mine is best demonstrated by the top 100 ranking from Amazon.com for African-American drama. Patrick’s next feature film Visions of Yvette was a socially conscious film widely praised by advocates against domestic violence. It was a major grassroots success particularly with women. Vision’s of Yvette was an artsy and gritty film that the young filmmaker felt he owed his fans. Patrick has been quoted saying “….I believe the story is the most important aspect of filmmaking.” Currently, Mr. Pierre is embarking on his most intriguing film yet, Sucka 4 Luv, that will marry his love for storytelling and his playful comedic senses.
