POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Hi! I’m Patience—writer/director making character-driven films with wonder, grit, and a little “there’s-more-to-this-life” energy. If you’re over loud franchises and crave stories with a soul, you’re in the right place.

Last year I filmed the pilot for Secondhand Miracles—an anthology about ordinary people and quiet, life-changing moments. It’s now streaming on @angel and @livingscriptures.

My first short, Delphinium, picked up a few festival awards and reminded me why I love doing this: small stories, big feeling.

Around here you’ll get: smart watch recs, honest directing/BTS, bite-size craft tools, and updates on new projects (plus occasional casting/crew calls).

If you want more women directing—and more films that actually mean something—hit follow, save this post, and tell me what you want to see more of. Let’s build this together. ✨ taken in Provo, Utah by @watchwithpatience

Grateful for all the incredible cinematographers I’ve already worked with and the ones I will. This is supposed to be an awesome resource to teach directors how to collaborate better with their DP. I’ll keep you posted 🫶📖 taken in Provo, Utah by @watchwithpatience
