About the filmmaker:

Sam Patton graduated from the Park School in 2012 and began his career at the micro-budget hit factory Blumhouse Productions. He has worked on films such as The Purge, Sinister 2, and The Call. This year, he worked on Amazon's Transparent, a Bollywood film, and a Netflix indie film with Michael Cera. He is about to join the union as a Production Accountant, and is developing a payroll and accounting software for independent filmmakers.

He just finished post on his first feature film as Director and Producer, the micro-budget horror/thriller "Desolation". He won the Golden Doorknobs twice as an undergrad, and still feels the need to brag about it all the time.
