Partner/EP Patrick Shelton Of Current Resident Explains His Production Company's Ethos.

Respect The Process

Filmmaker Patrick Shelton is a partner, Director, and EP at Current Resident in Minneaoplois. Current Resident proudly proclaims itself "an independent production company and post-house that makes cool shit with good people." Ingrained with a deep love for both narrative and entrepreneurship Patrick is constantly looking for new and exciting ways to blend the two… When asked if he wants to direct feature films, he answers, “Brands are more adventurous, and hungry for story than ever – if I’m to be so lucky it will be an ad.”

Patrick and I are very much aligned, depsite being years apart. Really look forward to more greatest from him. And he sent me hot sauce shortly after we recorded this chat. Thank you Patrick!
