REVIEWS
DEAD BROKE
“Wildly inventive and hilarious…’Dead Broke’ is a tightly wound tale of cruelty and revenge.” - FILM THREAT
“A nasty little thriller…hits with rapid-fire gusto.” - PHILADELPHIA CITY PAPER
“Patrick Hasson’s droll ‘Dead Broke’…a Shining-esque tale of a man menaced by kitties” - CHICAGO READER
WAITING
“Delivers solid laughs!” - NEW YORK TIMES
“First time writer/director Patrick Hasson whips up a surprising amount of fun given his modest ingredients.” - NEW YORK POST
“Writer/director Patrick Hasson’s debut effort, WAITING, is a sex comedy from the AMERICAN PIE school of filmmaking.” - AMAZON.UK
“Waiting has the potential to be the ‘Office Space’ of restaurant comedies” - BOSTON GLOBE
“Smart and cleverly designed…Hasson could easily parlay this picture into a future directing gig for any of the numerous Indiewood distributors.” - INDIEWIRE
“Waiting is a raunchy, rude look at the world of the waiting and the waited upon that goes behind those swinging kitchen doors” - DALLAS MORNING NEWS
“A picaresque comedy approaching the surreal” - CHICAGO READER
“Comic chaos” - SAN FRANCISCO WEEKLY
THE SPEED OF MIND
“The tone of this film reminds me a bit of Richard Linklater’s ‘Slacker,’ through there’s a desolation more akin to James Mangold’s underrated ‘Heavy’…but the best comparison, however, would be to Harmony Korine’s ‘Gummo.’” - LOLLIPOP MAGAZINE
“Writer/director Patrick Hasson has created a fascinating tapestry of simmering family dysfunction.” - SHOCK CINEMA

is a funny guy. He's won awards. He makes ha-ha-hilarious films. Wicked hot commercials. And writes very strange things. He's taught film to kiddies. They called him 'Mr. Patrick.' They made lots of films. They also made a documentary. Watch out. He's the hottest director in Kill City.
