Buddy Patrick

Producer · Born May 3, 1984 (42) · New Orleans, Louisiana, USA

Independent Spirit Award nominee

My film career fell into my lap after graduating from Loyola Law School. My hometown, New Orleans, had just shot $4B in the previous year. I knocked on every door trying to get in to no avail. Frustrated and about to move on, I was on Craigslist in Virginia when I found an opportunity with The Butler. Life instantly changed. I started Windy Hill Pictures to produce and finance motion pictures. Will always be forever thankful to the industry executives that have polished my knowledge over the last decade. The best is yet to come.

Percentiles are each film's standing among all films on MovieCove; the typical film is the median, so one outlier cannot drag it. Percentiles and reviewer scores count the films IMDb credits them on, for now; the Midcredits score bands, the shape of the crowd and the two cards count their MovieCove titles, shows included (a show ranked among shows), appearances as themselves left out. A descriptor is the shape of a title's IMDb rating distribution against the catalog; "most divisive" needs a spread wider than half of all titles, and a card names only a principal credit: a craft role, and on a show a crew role or a run of episodes, never a courtesy credit or a one-off guest spot.
