Grear Patterson
American-born, Spanish-based award-winning filmmaker and artist Grear Patterson activates a strong sense of nostalgia—imagined and remembered—in presenting compelling narratives that lend an immediate sense of familiarity and longing. His work is included in many private and institutional collections, and he was recently nominated for Best Director and Best Film at The 76th Venice International Film Festival.
