Trick Entertainment Films and Patrick Rivera was given the challenging task of fixing the trailer for The Product, but the existing footage presented major obstacles. Instead of simply re-editing, he rewrote parts of the script, reworked the narrative, and shifted the premise of the short film to enhance its impact. The result was a powerful and compelling trailer that not only revitalized the project but also gained critical acclaim. The Product was officially selected for the Los Angeles International Film Festival Indie Short Fest and went on to win Best Short at the Mexican-American Film & Television Festival (MAFTF).

Billboards Inc. was initially brought to me for a fix, but after assessing the project, I recognized the need for a complete overhaul. Instead of patching things up, I spearheaded a full-scale rehab, taking on the role of producer and director to rebuild the series from the ground up. This reality series dives into the high-stakes world of outdoor advertising, capturing the drama, creativity, and business savvy behind turning billboards into powerful marketing tools. With a fresh vision, compelling storytelling, and dynamic production, I transformed Billboards Inc. into a polished, engaging series ready to capture audiences and networks alike.

Rebroken is a gripping psychological thriller that delves into the depths of grief, loss, and the blurred lines between reality and the supernatural. As an Executive Producer and 1st Assistant Director, Patrick Rivera played a key role in bringing this mind-bending story to life, ensuring a seamless production while elevating the film’s visual and narrative intensity. The trailer teases a haunting journey as a man, tormented by the death of his daughter, discovers a mysterious path that could reconnect him with the past—or unravel his sanity entirely. With eerie cinematography, suspenseful pacing, and an unsettling mystery at its core, Rebroken keeps audiences questioning what’s real and what’s just beyond reach.

Witness the legacy.
