I'm Patrick LEVY, writer-director & producer. I started my film career at the Ecole Florent Director’s Class in Paris.
I produced a number of plays, including « The Scarecrow » by Jerry Schatzberg, « Edmond » by David Mamet and « Acapulco» by Steven Bercoff.
Afterwards, I produced and directed short films, music videos, commercials and two feature films: "COUP DE VICE" (Dirty Tricks) with Samy Naceri & "GAMER" starring Saïd Tagmaoui.
I also co-wrote and co-produced Crystel AMSALEM’s first feature film "When Angels Interfere…" (QUAND LES ANGES S'EN MELENT...) released March 2006 and won the AWARD FOR BEST ACTOR (Alexandre Brasseur) at the PARIS FILM FESTIVAL and nominated in several festivals in New York, Boston, Melbourne, Palm Beach, Washington....
As a director & producer, my third feature film « KINGS OF THE NIGHT », a comedy between the world of stripteases and the movie business, won the award "BEST NARRATIVE FEATURE" at the LOS ANGELES FILM & SCRIPT FESTIVAL 2012.
I'm currently in development on "ART, LOVE & MONEY ", a comedy-drama in the art world with Crystel AMSALEM & other projects.
Bonjour Patrick! What an impressive background you have. Do you find Paris being a huge influence for your projects or do you like to travel to find influences?

Bonjour Amanda and thanks for showing up! Travelling is exactly what I have done during these past three years - NY, LA, Berlin, London, Milan... Trying to close the budget on ART, LOVE & MONEY my priority project - Hiring casting director, lawyer, writer in Hollywood and so on - But development money is rare and after spending all of it, I'd look to partner with a new team --- Hope to have the opportunity to talk to you further on this - Best - Patrick

Hey Richard - Of course, my friend -;)
Can you send me an email to this address (mine): mrbenisreal@gmail.com? I would like to send you a project of mine, ''The Success Story'' Below is the synopsis
Greg is the best of all students in his department---The department of
Mechanical Engineering at the University of Perth. However, he looks
forward to a time when he ''answer his calling''...a successful
writer. Fortunately, the time comes when his secret aspiration is
ignited...His visit to his friend's place, Harp's residence. Greg's
transition from being a really ''fulfilment-absent'' young man to a
fulfilled author begins to emerge.
Though Greg is faced with discouragement, finding a publisher, he
becomes the success he presently is with the support of his family,
especially his sister, Jane, Head of Department, Dr Tim Yale and
friend, Harp.
Summary
Greg makes the journey to being a success. The thick and thin of his
journey is The Success Story
