Introduce Yourself : Hey everyone! by Patrick Hearne

Patrick Hearne

Hey everyone!

Based in Melbourne, Australia, I'm just starting out in what I hope will become my new career as a writer. I've written a couple of spec scripts in addition to a full-blown pilot which I'm excited to share with people.

Looking forward to connecting with you! :)

Hi Patrick Hearne - I lived a few years in Cairns and Perth and made it to Melbourne once for Davis Cup events years ago. Great city! :-)

Hi, nice to meet you as well. What type of genres do you like to write?

Amanda Toney

Great to have you here Patrick! We have so many great Stage 32 members from Australia. What film or TV inspires you?

Patrick Hearne

Thank you for the warm welcome everyone. And thank you Maurice and Ashley for sending through those links. I'll be sure to check them out!

I've just written in the genre of fiction/drama, but I intend to start writing a script for a feature-length horror towards the end of this year or early next year.

I'm also eager to give comedy a go down the track.

In terms of what inspired me, I think House MD is what sent me down the rabbit hole of TV and cinema over 10 years ago now. But I also love shows like Breaking Bad, Avatar the Last Airbender, Doctor Who and the Crown, just to name a few.

Maurice Vaughan

You're welcome, Patrick Hearne. Keep us posted on your projects!

Pat Alexander

Nice to meet a fellow writer named Patrick!

Sam Sokolow

So great to meet you here in the community, Patrick Hearne! Your list of inspirations include many of my favs. What's your TV pilot about (if you can share :)?
